Huracan host Estudiantes Rio Cuarto at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco in a Clausura fixture where the stakes are notably one-sided. The visitors arrive having already lost this exact fixture in the Apertura phase earlier in 2026, going down 2-0 to Huracan, and their Clausura campaign has been dismal, sitting second-bottom with just five points from six games. Jordy Caicedo leads the Huracan attack with two goals from four appearances and a red card that could affect his availability, while Gabriel Alanis is the lone scorer for Rio Cuarto in their last five outings, a telling sign of the visitors’ attacking poverty.
A hot stat worth flagging: Estudiantes Rio Cuarto have scored just one goal across their last five matches, the lowest output in this fixture set, while also conceding 60 fouls over that same sample. That combination of defensive aggression and attacking impotence points to a side under serious pressure.

Huracan vs Estudiantes Rio Cuarto Prediction
Huracan are the clear favourites here and the value in backing them to win is well-supported by context. They sit 15th in the Clausura table but have been competitive against decent opposition, drawing with Atletico Tucuman and Deportivo Riestra while beating San Lorenzo. Against a Rio Cuarto side that has lost three of six Clausura games and won just twice in 22 matches this year, Diego Martínez’s men should find the margin they need at home.
Huracan operate in a 4-4-2 shape that generates reasonable volume in the final third, recording 66 total shots in five games, nearly double Rio Cuarto’s 34. Their pass accuracy is also significantly higher, 1,914 accurate passes to Rio Cuarto’s 985, which reflects a structured midfield block built around Leonardo Gil and Facundo Kalinger di Napoli. Rio Cuarto’s 5-3-2 is a defensive setup by design, but with only 50 interceptions and a leaky record against the ball, they have not been able to hold leads or create enough to punish teams on the break. Both sides carry nine yellow cards over five matches, but Rio Cuarto’s 60 fouls suggest they get dragged into contact-heavy situations that Huracan’s technical players can exploit.
- Best Bet: Huracan to Win at around 1.60-1.65
- Under 2.5 Goals given Rio Cuarto’s scoring record
- BTTS: No, Rio Cuarto have scored in only one of their last five games

Team Analysis
Huracan have gone unbeaten in three of their last five Clausura matches, picking up wins against San Lorenzo and Independiente Rivadavia alongside draws with Atletico Tucuman and Deportivo Riestra. Their most recent outing was a goalless draw away at Riestra, a result that kept them in mid-table but showed the side can grind out points on the road. The defeat to Sarmiento Junin before that, 0-2, was their only clear setback in recent weeks. Over the last 30 days, they hold a 33% win rate across six games, which is modest but far ahead of their opponents tonight. The squad depth is reasonable, and with Oscar Cortes contributing from wide and Caicedo as the focal point up front, they carry enough threat to break down a low-block.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto have been one of the division’s most inconsistent teams over the full year, winning just two of 22 matches. Their Clausura form reads one win, two draws, and three losses from six games, with a goal difference of minus four. The most recent result was a goalless draw against San Lorenzo, which followed a 0-1 defeat to Atletico Tucuman and a 1-2 loss to Independiente Rivadavia. Their only Clausura win came against Banfield, and they have not scored more than once in any of their last five matches. Rubén Forestello’s 5-3-2 has kept some scorelines tight but has not generated enough attacking play to make Rio Cuarto competitive against the better sides in the division.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Huracan the Favourite
- Moneyline Huracan 1.60-1.65 | Estudiantes Rio Cuarto 6.40-7.00
- Draw 3.10-3.45
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The market prices Huracan as strong home favourites at around 1.60-1.65, and that reflects the gap between the sides. Bookmakers give Rio Cuarto just a 15% implied probability of winning, which aligns with their season record. The draw is priced at roughly 3.30-3.45, which is fair given Huracan’s tendency to play cautious football at home, but we see the hosts as too dominant on paper to let this slip. The Huracan win is the play, and at 1.65 with Pinnacle, the value is acceptable. The 7.00 on offer for a Rio Cuarto win at bet365 reflects just how little faith the market has in the visitors.

Possible Starting Lineups
Huracan Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Hernan Galindez
- DF: Lucas Blondel, Máximo Agustín Palazzo, Hugo Nervo, Rodrigo Fernández
- MF: Leonardo Gil, Facundo Kalinger di Napoli, Óscar Romero, Lautaro Iván Mora
- FW: Jordy Caicedo, Oscar Cortes
Huracan’s likely 4-4-2 sees Hernan Galindez, who made 15 saves over five matches, as the experienced last line. The back four picks itself with Blondel and Palazzo as the most consistent starters. Gil and Kalinger di Napoli form a hardworking central midfield pair, with Romero offering creativity from the right. Up front, Caicedo’s two goals make him the most dangerous player on the pitch, and Cortes’ work rate and one goal contribution support him well. Kalinger di Napoli’s assist record and nine free kicks taken make him a set-piece threat to watch closely.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Lucas Bruera
- DF: Gonzalo González, Sergio Ojeda, Gonzalo Maffini, Matias Valenti, Agustín Quiroga
- MF: Francisco Romero, Tomás González, Gabriel Alanis
- FW: Yeison Daniel Moreno Murillo, Juan Garro
Forestello’s 5-3-2 packs the backline with five defenders, all of whom have featured consistently across the last four matches. Lucas Bruera starts in goal after nine saves in four appearances. In midfield, Gabriel Alanis is the only player with a goal to his name and the side’s best chance of creating something from nothing. Ibrahim Hesar’s nine free kicks taken from midfield makes him a set-piece focal point, though his two yellow cards in four games are a caution risk. Up front, Moreno Murillo and Garro have been used together but neither has scored, which underlines the attacking problem Forestello has yet to solve.

TipsGG Match Prediction
The numbers point in one direction. Huracan are the stronger side in every measurable category, from shots and passing accuracy to goals scored over recent matches. Rio Cuarto’s 5-3-2 will make this a compact, low-scoring affair, and that actually suits a Huracan win prediction rather than undermining it. We predict a narrow 1-0 or 2-0 home win, with Caicedo the most likely scorer. Rio Cuarto’s inability to find the net, just one goal in five matches, makes the BTTS No a confident secondary play. The Huracan win combined with under 2.5 goals is our preferred line for this fixture.
