Huracán
- Huracán have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five Apertura games, with a 1-0 home win.
- The home team are currently in mid-table obscurity in Group B on nine points after seven rounds and need to win this to stay in contention for the qualifying places.
Belgrano
- Belgrano are unbeaten in five Apertura matches and currently sit near the top of Group B with 15 points after seven games.
- Belgrano have conceded only three goals in their last five league games and are one of the best organised teams in the division.
Head-to-Head
- Zielinski’s tactics are based on making his team compact and tough to break down and the former Rosario Central boss has done just that since taking over in February 2025.
- Belgrano have won three of the last eight head-to-heads in all competitions against Huracan, including a 3-0 away win in July of 2025.
Key Players
- Jordy Caicedo is the most advanced of Huracán’s two forwards and has found the net at a good rate in this season’s Torneo Apertura, but he is not an out-and-out finisher.
-
Belgrano are full of attacking talent with the likes of Emiliano Rigoni, who scored in the 3-1 home win over Atlético Tucumán last weekend, Julián Mavilla and Martín Benítez.
- Emiliano Rigoni
- Julián Mavilla
- Martín Benítez
- Lucas Zelarayán is a master at controlling the tempo in midfield with his range of passing and ability to dictate the play.
Betting Insights
- The odds of 3.5 on the visitors are better than Huracan’s 2.4 mark, but the draw is priced up at 2.72 and this looks a very evenly matched contest.
- Under 2.5 goals is favored at 1.35, which looks very high for a game where both teams will be up for the win.
Prediction
- But we’re going for a Belgrano win in a tight, tense game that should be decided by a moment of magic in transition or from a set piece as Belgrano look to contain Huracan and hit on the counter.
- The Piratas del Plata are unbeaten in their last five and, although Huracán may be without Leandro Lescano due to suspension, are likely to have the quality to edge this one.
