Huracan (home)
- Atletico Huracan have won 3, drawn 1 and lost only 1 of their last 5 matches.
- Diego Martinez’ Huracan side have been rock solid since he took charge in January 2026.
- The pragmatists play a simple, structure-first style and are as good as any other side in Argentina at organizing players into compact blocks and playing the ball vertically through the half-spaces to progress into the final third.
- Huracan are unbeaten in their last 3 home games, winning all three, and have conceded only 3 goals in 4 home fixtures.
River Plate (away)
- The visitors, River Plate, have had an inconsistent run of form in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, winning 2, tying 1 and losing 2 of their last 5, but Eduardo Coudet’s new philosophy is beginning to take hold after he took over in March.
- The ‘Gallinas’ are as aggressive and high-octane as ever, pressing relentlessly and attempting to play with pace in their 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 setups, but results have been erratic, particularly on the road where they have won 1, tied 2 and lost 2 in the league.
- River Plate have failed to win in their last 3 away games, with their previous 2 matches being a 3-1 home win over Banfield and a 1-1 away draw with Independiente Rivadavia.
Head-to-Head
Huracan have won 2 and drawn 1 of the last 3 head-to-head matches against River Plate.
Key Players
- Atletico’s Jordy Caicedo is the top scorer in the team with 4 goals in 8 games.
- Gonzalo Montiel leads River’s charts with 2 in 8 games.
Betting Insights
- The odds are heavily in favour of River Plate at 2.63, with Huracan priced at 2.97 and tie 2.81.
- With the ‘Under 2.5 goals’ market priced up at 1.32, it’s almost impossible to support the market favourite with such low odds.
Prediction
- A low scoring game looks on the cards.
- River’s odds are only just above even, but their attacking intent and recent form back up a slight preference for them here, albeit in what is likely to be a cagey match between two solid teams.
