racing Club, which achieved 12 of the last 15 points it played, will be local against Hurricane, who accumulated four performances without wins, with the need to win to get closer to the top, in one of the four games that will give continuity tomorrow to the ninth date of the Professional League Football (LPF).
The match will be played at the Presidente Perón stadium, in the city of Avellaneda, starting at 7:30 p.m., at a time rescheduled by the Aprevide (Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport) due to the arrest of several Racing bars in acts of violence on Thursday night.
How to watch Racing vs Huracán in the Professional League
The match will be televised by ESPN, with the arbitration of Darío Herrera from Neuquén. In the VAR will be in charge Mauro Vigliano.
Both teams will face the match with their maximum potential but also with their minds set on their cup debuts. Racing will debut in the Libertadores next Wednesday visiting Ñublese from Chile and Huracán will do so in the Sudamericana at home against Guaraní from Paraguay, the next day.
As for the reality of both in the LPF, Racing’s appears much more favorable with four wins in the last five dates. However, the fact that they have added those points does not mean that Fernando Gago’s team had the good game that they displayed especially last year.
Racing made the difference through individualities, especially with its best player, the Paraguayan Matías Rojas, but the team lacks forcefulness and errors abound in the defensive aspect.
To strengthen the defense, Leonardo Sigali (recovered from an edema on the outer face of his right knee) will return, probably for Jonathan Galván, while Emiliano Insúa will continue in defense because Gonzalo Piovi did not overcome a muscle injury.
Neither will Gabriel Rojas play in defense, with an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee, and Chilean Oscar Opazo will take his place.
In the Racing offensive, the imbalance of the Colombian Johan Carbonero, who underwent surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, is very strange and Gago must choose to play with Maximiliano Romero or the Peruvian Paolo Guerrero.
Huracán had a promising start but in the past four dates it has only gathered two units with two draws and two losses. To this is added the bitterness of losing the qualification to the group stage of the Libertadores when falling in discount time in Peru against Sporting Cristal.
“Globo”, led by Diego Dabove, is a team that handles the ball well but has a hard time getting to the goal, depending a lot on what the Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro can contribute (who would be preserved), the appearances of Santiago Hezze and Juan Gauto in the middle zone and the effectiveness of Nicolás Cordero.
Dabove would order the entry of Guillermo Soto for Fernando Torrent, Gastón Sauro for Joaquín Novillo and Gabriel Gudiño for Cóccaro.
In history they played 159 times with Racing’s advantage of 77 wins against 36 for “Globo” and 46 draws.
