Atletico Huracan

Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head saw Racing Club win 2-0 away at Huracan in Liga Profesional 2025, but Huracan have won two of their last three visits to Racing’s home turf.
Key Players
- Adrian Martinez is their biggest threat in the attacking third with four goals in 13 Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 appearances.
- Jordy Caicedo is their danger man with eight goals in 14 league games, including three in his last five appearances, and he is a clinical finisher on the counter-attack.
Betting Insights
- Racing Club are the 2.05 favourites to win Sunday’s Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 fixture against Atletico Huracan, who are 4.14 to claim the victory.
- Huracan are in the better form and are good value to gain a result in Avellaneda, but the under 2.5 goals bet at 1.4 makes more appeal because these teams are unlikely to score many in this clash of styles.
Prediction
This fixture will see an open side against a defensive one and should be a low-scoring affair, with Huracan’s counter-attacking ability to hurt Racing’s high line while La Academia’s pressing should pin Martinez’s side back for long periods.
