Huracan suffered their first defeat under coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda last time out, when they lost 2-1 at Patronato producing a worrying performance. In fact, that result stopped El Globo’s five-match unbeaten run in Superliga competitions (two victories and three draws). The team have collected four points in this league season so far.
Argentinos Juniors have leapfrogged Banfield in the relegation table after beating them 3-2 at home, with Gabriel Hauche in superb form. Therefore, El Bicho have opened a healthy three-point gap over the bottom three with regard to drop threats. Diego Dabove’s men are still unbeaten in the Superliga table with five points and they lost only one of their last 11 domestic matches (winning four and drawing six). Argentinos drew three of their last five away matches in national competitions, winning one and drawing one.
Striker Santiago Silva can play after his doping ban has been annulled temporarily. Matias Romero is ready to return while Fausto Vera is available after missing all league games so far..
Argentinos is a better team than Huracan, and with the return of Silva, Romero and Vera they should be even stronger and it’s hard to see them losing this game.
