Huracan welcome Atletico Tucuman to Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco in Buenos Aires for an early-round Clausura fixture. Both sides are sitting on 3 and 4 points respectively after two matches, making this a meaningful clash for early positioning. The standout angle here is Atletico Tucuman’s clean sheet record in the Clausura so far: two games played, two goals scored, none conceded, giving Julio César Falcioni’s side genuine defensive credibility heading into this road trip.
Two players deserve attention before kickoff. Oscar Cortes has been sharp for Huracan, contributing one goal across his recent appearances with eight total shots in limited minutes, making him the most active attacking threat in Diego Martínez’s setup. For Atletico Tucuman, Leandro Díaz has scored both of his side’s Clausura goals across two matches and carries the full weight of their forward threat in a compact 5-3-2 structure.
Hot stat: Atletico Tucuman have recorded 23 interceptions across their last five matches compared to Huracan’s 16, and they’ve done it with significantly fewer passes (600 vs 965), pointing to a team that defends by disrupting rather than controlling.

Huracan vs Atletico Tucuman Prediction
Huracan enter as the home favourites at roughly 46% win probability per bookmaker averages, and that makes sense on paper. They play at home, they have a higher passing volume, and their 4-4-2 gives them width to exploit a back five. The problem is their recent form: they’ve dropped three of their last five matches and lost their most recent Clausura outing 1-2 to Independiente Rivadavia, a team ranked well below them.
Atletico Tucuman, on the other hand, have not conceded in either Clausura game and arrive with momentum from a 2-0 win over Central Cordoba. Their 5-3-2 is built to absorb pressure and hit on the counter, exactly the kind of setup that can frustrate a Huracan side that commits 19 fouls per five matches and gives away set pieces in dangerous areas.
Huracan’s passing volume is high (965 passes across five games) but their pass accuracy sits at 788 out of those, suggesting they move the ball a lot without always doing it efficiently. Atletico Tucuman foul more (26 vs 19) and carry more yellow cards (2 vs 1 per five games), but that defensive aggression has been paying off. We predict a tight match where Atletico Tucuman’s defensive discipline keeps this close, with a draw being a genuine outcome.

Team Analysis
Huracan’s Clausura campaign started with a 1-0 win over Banfield before they fell 1-2 to Independiente Rivadavia in their most recent outing. That defeat is worth examining: Independiente Rivadavia are a well-ranked side in current form, but conceding twice at home in a match Huracan likely expected to control signals defensive fragility. Looking at their last five matches overall, they’ve won just two, lost two, and drawn one. Their red card in that sample adds to the concern. The 4-4-2 shape gives them attacking presence through Cortes and Jordy Caicedo, who combined for two goals, but the defensive unit has been inconsistent.
Atletico Tucuman arrive in strong early-Clausura form. Their last match, a 2-0 win over Central Cordoba, followed a goalless draw with Independiente Rivadavia. Before the Clausura began, they beat Talleres Cordoba 3-0 and River Plate 1-0 in previous competitive outings, both of which show a team capable of winning without conceding. Leandro Díaz has been the focal point up front, scoring twice across their Clausura matches, while Luis Ingolotti has kept four clean sheets across his recent appearances in goal. Falcioni’s 5-3-2 prioritises structure, and with 23 interceptions in five games, the defensive unit is actively pressing and winning the ball back.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Huracan the Favourite
- Moneyline Huracan 2.10 | Atletico Tucuman 4.17
- Draw 2.97
The market prices Huracan as clear favourites at around 2.05-2.16 across most books, with Atletico Tucuman available at 4.00-4.50. To be honest, those visitor odds look generous given Tucuman’s defensive record and current Clausura form. Pinnacle, generally the sharpest book in the market, has Huracan at 2.12 and Tucuman at 4.30, which reflects a tighter edge than softer books suggest. The draw at 2.90-3.00 also carries value given both teams’ tendency toward low-scoring, structured matches.
Possible Starting Lineups
Huracan Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Hernan Galindez
- DF: Lucas Blondel, Máximo Agustín Palazzo, Hugo Nervo, Cesar Ibañez
- MF: Leonardo Gil, Emmanuel Ojeda, Facundo Kalinger di Napoli, Oscar Cortes
- FW: Jordy Caicedo, Juan Francisco Bisanz
Diego Martínez is expected to line up in a 4-4-2, with Hernan Galindez as the first-choice goalkeeper after logging 180 minutes across two recent matches and making six saves. The back four picks itself based on appearances, with Blondel and Palazzo both logging full games. In midfield, Leonardo Gil and Emmanuel Ojeda provide the defensive base, while Kalinger di Napoli adds creativity from the right. Oscar Cortes deserves a watch in the wide forward role given his eight total shots across two matches. Up top, Jordy Caicedo leads the line and has already found the net in this run of form.
Atletico Tucuman Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Luis Ingolotti
- DF: Maximiliano Villa, Clever Domingo Ferreira Ñamandu, Iván Tesuri, Leonel Di Plácido, Ignacio Galvan
- MF: Lautaro Godoy, César Leonel Vega, Franco Nicola
- FW: Leandro Díaz, Ramiro Ruiz Rodriguez
Falcioni’s 5-3-2 has been consistent across recent matches. Luis Ingolotti starts in goal after four clean-sheet contributions recently. The back five is anchored by Villa, who has logged nine interceptions across two games, and Ferreira Ñamandu, who has been equally reliable. In midfield, César Leonel Vega and Lautaro Godoy cover the ground, with Vega picking up a yellow card showing his combative presence. Up front, Leandro Díaz is the clear danger man with two Clausura goals, supported by Ramiro Ruiz Rodriguez who has registered one assist and shown movement in the channels.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Huracan have home advantage and the bookmakers back them, but their recent form does not justify heavy confidence. They lost their last Clausura match at home, their passing efficiency is questionable despite high volume, and their defensive record across five matches shows clear vulnerabilities. Atletico Tucuman, perhaps the less glamorous side in this fixture, arrive with two clean sheets, a functioning defensive system, and a striker in Leandro Díaz who has been clinical.
We predict a low-scoring match where Atletico Tucuman’s defensive organisation limits Huracan’s attacking output. The Double Chance on Atletico Tucuman (Draw or Win) at around 1.70-1.80 on most books represents the best value here, backed by Under 2.5 goals given both teams’ recent scoring rates: Huracan have scored just two goals across their last five matches, and Tucuman have managed the same total while allowing zero. A 1-1 draw or a narrow Atletico Tucuman win are the most likely outcomes.
