Platense vs Huracan Match Preview

Platense and Hurricane will face each other at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López for the 23rd round of the Argentinian Liga Profesional.

Platense, after their two consecutive defeats to Colon Santa Fe with 3-0 and to River Plate 0-1 at home, played a 3-3 draw against Lanus on the road. They did very well against River Plate but the quality of their opponents did not give them much hope for something positive, however, they kept the final score low.

They maintained this good image away at Lanus, where they earned one point from a draw. There is optimism in the team who are not fighting for something in the last games of the league, they just want to collect points for the special three-year relegation. They have registered five wins, nine draws, and eight losses in this season so far. P. Gerzel is injured, he will hardly play in the match.

Huracan returned to the three-pointers in their last home game against the inferior Patronato Parana, prevailing with the narrow 1-0. They found the winner quite late, in the 85th minute of the match. This was a result that improved their place in the three-year relegation table while maintaining their hopes for a ticket for the upcoming Copa Sudamericana.

F. Kudelka has formed quite an offensive formation for today's game. The only missing is the injured defender L. Merolla.

The 'globo' needs this victory more to improve their chances for a Copa Sudamericana ticket. Platense will play in the remaining games just to avoid last place in the standings. Based on both sides' motivation, I will pick away the away win, keeping my stake low.
