Huracan vs Lanus
Huracan closed up last year in good style, winning three and losing one of their last four games, which gave them the hope of fighting for a continental ticket that they eventually didn’t get. In fact, the team managed ten points from the last 12 on offer at home in the context of that improvement. Fernando Tobio (who arrives from Estudiantes) and Pablo Adorno (Cerro Porteno, Paraguay) are the most important signings for coach Frank Kudelka in a total of seven while Claudio Yacob left to join Rosario Central among ten departures.
Lanus produced a worthy campaign in 2021, but a six-game winless streak of three draws and three defeats left them out of the fight for a Copa Libertadores’ ticket (they will participate in the Copa Sudamericana instead). In fact, El Granate are now on three away losses in a row. Coach Luis Zubeldia waved goodbye and the board hired Jorge Almiron again to take over. Diego Valeri (from MLS side Portland Timbers) and Fernando Monetti (San Lorenzo) also returned to the club while Yonathan Cabral arrived from Atletico Tucuman.
Lanus had important signings during the offseason and they will have back the last coach that won a championship in the club, so I think they should start the season getting something out of this game.Â
