Atletico Huracan

vs

Sarmiento

Preview

Head-to-Head

• Huracán have dominated the all-competitions H2H record, winning six of the last thirteen meetings and losing just twice (D5).
• Huracán have outscored Sarmiento 11-3 across the last five encounters, keeping three clean sheets and winning three times.

Huracán (home)

• Huracan will arrive at the stadium hoping to build on the momentum of their 1-0 win over San Lorenzo last time out, but will be up against a Sarmiento side desperate to snap the hosts’ dominant head-to-head record and add three points to their own Apertura standings.
• Huracán are slightly more open in their style, employing a flexible 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system in which they look to dominate the ball, dictate the pace of the game and play in the final third.

Sarmiento (away)

• Sarmiento have been in decent form so far, registering two wins from their last two Apertura fixtures.
• Facundo Sava’s return has instilled a pragmatic and results-driven mentality to the side that has seen them keep things extremely tight in defence and hit on the counterattack.

Key Players

• Sarmiento:
  • Diego Churín is Sarmiento’s most fearsome penalty-box predator and has struck in both of their wins this term.
  • Junior Marabel was on the scoresheet against Atlético Tucumán last week.
• Huracán:
  • Jordy Caicedo is their main man up top, netting the winner against San Lorenzo and being their best option from set plays.
  • Emmanuel Ojeda is the engine in the center of the park, regularly creating chances and driving the team forward.
