Huracan backed to edge Banfield at home

Huracan will again be coached by Diego Martinez this season. The club made no signings in pre-season, while forward Luciano Gimenez returned to his former club.

Banfield are under the charge of Tegrio this season. They did not bring in any new players before the campaign, while defender Nicolas Golaso left as a free agent and forward Malu Mendis departed after his loan spell ended.

Huracan have no suspensions, no doubtful players and no reported injuries or absentees for this match.

Banfield also have no suspensions, no doubtful players and no reported injuries or absentees.

The main pick is a home win.

Under Diego Martinez, Huracan continue to show strong stability at the back. However, their attack lacks cutting edge, and at home they often struggle to break down sides that defend in a compact shape.

Banfield showed very good form in pre-season training. Although players left the club and no new arrivals were added, Tegrio is expected to rely on a mobile midfield and a disciplined defence to compete with the hosts. Even so, if they want to score against Huracan, they need more creativity and better finishing in the final third.

Huracan are very solid at home and difficult to break down, while Banfield have limited attacking options after player departures. On that basis, Huracan look capable of edging a narrow win in front of their own fans.

In head-to-head meetings, Huracan are unbeaten in the last 13 encounters, with 9 wins and 4 draws.
