Huracan vs Instituto
Huracan are leaving good impressions during this new spell under coach Frank Kudelka. Last Sunday, the team secured a valuable 1-1 away stalemate at Banfield, producing a good performance to make it four points in two Liga Profesional rounds. In fact, El Globo are on five league matches unbeaten, winning three and drawing two in that time, which keeps them seven points behind the last Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate table. Huracan are without defeat in the last seven at home (four victories and three draws).
Instituto are playing good football in the Liga Profesional so far. Last weekend, the team settled for a 1-1 home stalemate against Union Santa Fe after trailing first. As a result, La Gloria made it four points in two matches so far. However, having won only one of their last seven in league action (along with one victory and one draw), La Gloria are still unable to approach the continental spots in the aggregate table, which seems to be their main aim as they are now safe from relegation threats. Instituto won 2-1 at Sarmiento to break a three-match losing streak as the visiting side.
I like the very low totals line here. Both scored and conceded goals in their first two games of the tournament, and if we include the last round of the previous tournament Huracan has scored 7 goals in their last two home games. Huracan is a clear favorite but I still don’t fully trust them so I’ll go for the OVER.
