In that match, Huracán had 65% possession and 30 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Barracas Central had 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Alexis Domínguez (11') was the scorer for Barracas Central.

A common characteristic of recent Huracán games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their previous six matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a loser. We will find out whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

🔮 Prediction

We think that Huracán could find themselves struggling to hit the back of the net against this River Plate side who we reckon will score one, at least.

We therefore fancy a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 advantage for River Plate at full-time.

Should be a close one.
