Barracas Central and Huracan square off in the Copa Argentina 2026 Round of 32, a match that sets a classic underdog narrative against a squad with slightly more pedigree. The venue, Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia in Baracas, adds a layer of familiarity for Barracas, though their recent results show little sign of home advantage. Both teams arrive following tough runs, but Huracan’s marginally better form and squad quality set the tone. All eyes will be on Huracan’s Óscar Romero, whose recent goal-scoring exploits drive their attack, and Barracas’ Ivan Tapia, the main creative spark for the hosts. A key factor: Barracas have lost four of their last five and haven’t won in five matches—hardly reassuring. Hot stat: Barracas Central scored just one goal in their last five matches despite registering 33 shots. Goalkeeper Marcelo Miño will be critical if Barracas hope to resist Huracan’s attacks, while Hernan Galindez stands guard at the other end for Huracan.

Barracas Central vs Huracan prediction
We predict Huracan to win in regular time. The gap in squad quality, current form, and attacking output is significant. Huracan’s eight wins this year from 21 matches (38% winrate) dwarf Barracas Central’s five from 23 (22%). Huracan have also produced better results against stronger teams recently, even edging Boca Juniors 3-2. Barracas Central’s attack looks toothless, with a single goal in five games, and their defense consistently leaks goals. The midfield battle tilts Huracan’s way with more interceptions, passes, and overall control. Both teams rack up fouls—Barracas 34 and Huracan 55 in their last five matches—suggesting a stop-start rhythm, but Huracan’s higher ball retention (607 passes, 62% accuracy vs. Barracas’ 474 passes, 68% accuracy) gives them an edge in dictating play. Yellow cards and physical play could shape momentum, but Huracan’s discipline seems slightly better, with fewer reds. Expect a tightly managed match with Huracan’s superior pressing and creativity breaking Barracas’ resistance.

Team Analysis
Barracas Central’s most recent outing was a 0-3 defeat against Vasco, marking their fourth loss in five matches. The pattern is clear: they struggle defensively and lack cutting edge in attack. Tapia’s creativity often goes wasted, with Morales being the only forward to score in the last five games. The lack of end product from 33 total shots is concerning. Defensive discipline is also an issue—multiple yellow cards, scattered red cards, and consistent fouling disrupt their rhythm and cost them territory and composure.
Huracan’s last match, a 0-1 defeat to Argentinos Juniors, was tight but highlighted their ability to contain stronger opposition. Prior to that, a 3-2 win over Boca Juniors demonstrated attacking resilience. Romero remains Huracan’s most dangerous player, with two goals in his last three appearances. Defensively, Huracan’s backline—anchored by Lucas Carrizo and Hugo Nervo—offers more stability, and their midfield’s high interception numbers indicate solid organization. They create more chances and, crucially, capitalize on them better than Barracas.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Huracan the favourite
- Moneyline Barracas Central 3.75 | Huracan 2.09
- Draw 2.82
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.55 | Under 2.5 1.47
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.05 | No 1.95
The market gives Huracan a clear edge, pricing them as favorites. Barracas Central’s odds lengthen due to their poor form and lack of firepower. The draw sits at a middling price, reflecting the possibility of a low-scoring stalemate, but Huracan’s superior squad depth makes their win price attractive. Under 2.5 goals emerges as a strong value, given both teams’ recent attacking struggles and disciplined, foul-heavy play. Both teams to score remains risky—Barracas Central have found the net just once in five games, so ‘No’ carries better value.
Possible Starting Lineups
Barracas Central possible starting eleven
- GK: Marcelo Miño
- DF: Rodrigo Insua, Nicolás Capraro, Nicolás Demartini, Fernando Tobio
- MF: Dardo Miloc, Ivan Tapia, Tomás Porra, Kevin Jappert, Manuel Duarte
- FW: Gonzalo Javier Morales
Miño gets the nod in goal for consistency. The defense features Insua, Capraro, Demartini, and Tobio—most experienced and active recently. Midfield sees Miloc and Tapia for stability and creativity, supported by Porra, Jappert, and Duarte. Morales leads the line as the lone forward, being the only scorer in recent games. Expect a 4-1-4-1 formation, focused on defense and transition. Tapia is the key creative outlet, Morales the main target.
Huracan possible starting eleven
- GK: Hernan Galindez
- DF: Lucas Carrizo, Hugo Nervo, Fabio Pereyra
- MF: Facundo Waller, Leonardo Gil, Emmanuel Ojeda, Lucas Blondel
- FW: Óscar Romero, Jordy Caicedo, Juan Francisco Bisanz
Galindez anchors the defense with Carrizo, Nervo, and Pereyra forming a disciplined back three. Waller, Gil, Ojeda, and Blondel make up a high-energy midfield, providing both defensive cover and ball progression. Up front, Romero and Caicedo form a mobile pairing, with Bisanz supporting as a third forward. The 3-4-3 maximizes Huracan’s strengths: midfield numbers, wing play, and Romero’s influence in advanced areas. Romero and Gil are the danger men to watch.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Huracan to win, most likely in a low-scoring affair. The underlying numbers favor Huracan—better winrate, more goals, stronger recent performances, and tactical discipline. Barracas Central’s poor conversion rate and porous defense remain their undoing. Huracan’s midfield will control possession, and Romero’s attacking threat will prove decisive. Best value: Huracan to win and under 2.5 goals.
