Argentinos Juniors and Huracan meet at Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Buenos Aires in the Apertura Quarterfinals of the Argentine Primera Division. The hosts, under Nicolás Diez, enter with more recent wins and a higher world club ranking, while Huracan, managed by Diego Martínez, have struggled for consistency but possess attacking threats. This fixture has a history of tense, closely fought games. Among the key names, Argentinos’ Tomas Molina stands out with 3 goals in his last five matches, while Huracan’s Facundo Waller has produced vital contributions from midfield. The duel between these creative players could tip the balance. The “hot stat”: Huracan’s players have racked up 16 yellow cards and 85 fouls in their last five games, showing their aggressive approach.

Argentinos Juniors vs Huracan prediction
We predict Argentinos Juniors to win. Home advantage, a superior win rate in recent matches (60% vs Huracan’s 40%), and sharper offensive output underpin this view. Argentinos’ defense also allows fewer clear-cut chances. Huracan’s discipline issues—high fouls and yellow card count—could disrupt their rhythm, especially against a team that prefers possession and structured buildup. Argentinos produced 7 goals and conceded 5 in their last five, indicating both scoring ability and some defensive vulnerability, but Huracan’s defense appears even more fragile. Both teams play a 4-3-3, suggesting open wings and quick transitions, but Huracan’s high foul count may see them struggle to maintain pressure without risking cards or suspensions.

Team Analysis
Argentinos Juniors come off a confident 2-0 win over Lanus, showing solid finishing and compact defending. Tomas Molina’s presence in attack made a tangible difference, and Francisco Fabián Álvarez contributed defensively and going forward. Before that, Argentinos fell 0-2 to Gimnasia LP, exposing occasional lapses in concentration. In their last five, they have mixed results but consistently generate chances, with 54 total shots and 31 corners.
Huracan’s last outing was a dramatic 3-2 victory over Boca Juniors, with goals from multiple sources and an aggressive press. Yet, this approach brings disciplinary risks: 16 yellows and two reds in five matches. Their 0-0 with Racing Club showed resilience, but also highlighted their inconsistency in attack. Huracan’s 9 goals in the last five matches prove their threat going forward, but 85 fouls show how easily they can lose shape.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Argentinos Juniors the favourite
- Moneyline Argentinos Juniors 1.85 | Huracan 4.80
- Draw 3.20
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.38 | Under 2.5 1.57
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.10 | No 1.68
Bookmakers clearly back Argentinos Juniors, assigning them around a 51% implied chance. The home win odds offer value given their home form and Huracan’s defensive record. The draw sits at 3.20, reflecting the frequency of tight games between these teams. Over 2.5 goals is not heavily favoured, which may be an oversight considering both teams’ recent scoring rates. BTTS is nearly even, but the attacking form of both sides justifies a lean towards “Yes”.
Possible Starting Lineups
Argentinos Juniors possible starting eleven
- GK: Brayan Cortés
- DF: Sebastián Prieto, Francisco Fabián Álvarez, Kevin Coronel, Roman Daniel Riquelme
- MF: Alan Lescano, Federico Fattori, Nicolas Oroz
- FW: Tomas Molina, Iván Morales, Facundo Valentín Jainikoski
Cortés anchors the defense, with Prieto and Álvarez offering reliability and build-up from the back. Lescano drives play from midfield, while Molina leads the line after his recent goal surge. The 4-3-3 formation will suit their passing and possession style. Jainikoski adds assists and versatility out wide.
Huracan possible starting eleven
- GK: Hernan Ismael Galindez
- DF: Lucas Carrizo, Fabio Pereyra, Hugo Nervo, Lucas Blondel
- MF: Facundo Waller, Leonardo Gil, Emmanuel Ojeda
- FW: Jordy Caicedo, Juan Francisco Bisanz, Oscar Cortes
Galindez brings stability in goal. The back four provides a mix of experience and tenacity. Waller’s energy in midfield can change the game. Caicedo up front is a physical presence and recent scorer. The team also lines up in a 4-3-3, but their aggressive tendencies often leave them exposed.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Argentinos Juniors to progress. They combine better form, sharper attack, and more control in midfield. Huracan’s discipline issues may decide this contest—another red card or a costly foul is entirely possible. Expect an open match, both teams to score, but Argentinos’ consistency and home record make them the clear favourites.
