Huracán
- Huracán have had a frustrating start to the season, taking just two points from their three group games and coming off a 1-1 away draw at Atlético Tucumán in their last league game.
- Diego Hernán Martínez has returned to the club as head coach and brought with him a pragmatic approach that has produced some solid, albeit not winning, performances.
San Lorenzo
- San Lorenzo have been more inconsistent, but also more of an attacking threat in their games so far.
- Los Ciclones lost 3-2 to Lanús in their first group game before bouncing back to win 1-0 at Gimnasia (Mendoza) in their second fixture.
- Rubén Darío Insúa is a club legend and has returned to the San Lorenzo bench after the club’s recent managerial upheaval and has been a calming influence in the opening games.
Head-to-Head

Huracán
They have a reliable veteran goalkeeper in Hernán Galíndez , a good organiser at the back and an effective target man up front in Jordy Caicedo , who was on the mark from the spot at Tucumán last weekend.
San Lorenzo
Alexis Cuello , who scored from the penalty spot against Lanús and set up San Lorenzo’s winner at Gimnasia (M), has been the most creative player for the team so far, but Diego Herazo has made a big impact from the bench to score the decisive goal at Gimnasia (M).
