Huracan produced a comeback to beat Independiente 3-2 at home after trailing 2-0 at one point, with Andres Chavez netting the winner in the 75th minute. Therefore, they are the only team in the Fase Campeonato’s group A to grab three points in the first round. In fact, Israel Damonte’s men are unbeaten in their last three matches, having won two and drawn one. At home, they won three and lost one in this competition.
River Plate had to settle for a 1-1 home draw against Argentinos Juniors at Independiente in spite of having taken the first lead through a penalty netted by Julian Alvarez. However, that result allowed them to extend their unbeaten run in this competition to six games, having won the previous five. On away turf, El Millonario holds a remarkable streak of 15 domestic games without defeat, winning 12 and drawing three. On Thursday 17, River won 6-2 at Nacional in Uruguay in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores’ quarter-finals to advance to the semi-finals.
Both are good attacking teams (River just scored 6 a few days ago and Huracan 3 last week) but show problems in defence so I have to expect an open game here.
