Huracan vs Arsenal
Huracan took a giant step towards securing their top-flight status for next season last time out, when they beat River Plate 2-1 away thanks to goals from Walter Mazzantti and Franco Alfonso. El Globo made it three league matches unbeaten (two victories and one draw) to accumulate 20 points in the Copa Liga Profesional, which allows them to stay into the playoff spots in group A and to open a healthy three-point gap over the drop spot in the aggregate table. At home, Huracan grabbed 13 points from 18 available in this competition as a product of four wins, one stalemate and one loss.
Sarandi Arsenal continue to leave good impressions before saying goodbye to the top flight. Last time out, they showed a worthy version in a hard-fought scoreless home draw against Gimnasia LP. That result means El Viaducto are now unbeaten in their last six league matches (two victories and four draws), accumulating 13 points in the Copa Liga Profesional. However, that’s not enough to avoid being the worst team of the season and the side have already got relegated. Arsenal are without a win in their last 17 away games, having drawn five and lost 12 since beating River Plate 2-1 in February.
Even if Arsenal has looked improved lately, Huracan comes from a high morale win at River and if they win here they will finally put the relegation nightmare behind them, so I expect them to get the 3 points they need to celebrate that they will be in the top division next year.
