This resilience at the back, combined with a home advantage, will be crucial as they face Newell’s Old Boys.

The team’s recent 3-1 away victory over Defensa y Justicia highlights an ability to perform under pressure, making them favourites for this encounter.

Huracán Key Players

Huracán’s squad features several potential game-changers who could make a significant impact against Newell’s Old Boys. The team’s top scorer, Luciano Giménez, who has netted 2 goals this season, will be a crucial threat up front. His partnership with Leonardo Sequeira, who is expected to start in the forward line, will be vital for unpicking the Newell’s defence.

Midfield dynamo Facundo Waller will be another key player, providing energy and creativity from the centre of the park. His battle with Newell’s midfield will be essential in controlling the tempo of the game.

Expected lineup for Huracán:

• Goalkeeper: Hernan Galindez
• Defenders: Hernán De La Fuente, Fabio Pereyra, Nehuén Paz, César Ibáñez
• Midfielders: Emmanuel Ojeda, Leonel Pérez, Facundo Waller
• Attacking midfielder: Matko Miljevic
• Forwards: Leonardo Sequeira, Luciano Giménez

With these players in form, especially at home, Huracán will look to capitalize on their attacking prowess against a struggling Newell’s side.

Huracán Suspensions & Injuries

Huracán approach this match relatively unscathed in terms of suspensions and injuries, with only one major absentee. Daniel Zabala is out with a cruciate ligament injury, with a potential return set for early January 2026. While Zabala’s absence is notable, it’s worth mentioning that the team has managed fairly well without him in recent fixtures.

Huracán’s defensive line, led by Fabio Pereyra and Nehuén Paz, has shown resilience, as indicated by their average goals conceded. The absence of further suspensions or injuries is a positive for coach Frank Kudelka, allowing him to field a strong, consistent lineup.

With their key players available, Huracán have a solid foundation to go into this match confidently against Newell’s Old Boys.

Huracán Tactics and Formation

Huracán, under the guidance of coach Frank Kudelka, typically line up in a 4-3-3 formation, which allows them to balance their defensive solidity with attacking intent.

Huracán’s Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-3-3
• Key Forward: Luciano Giménez, with 2 goals this season
• Midfield Trio: Emmanuel Ojeda, Leonel Pérez, Facundo Waller
• Defensive Strength: Two clean sheets in the last five games
• Notable Strategy: Strong attack during the 61-75-minute interval

With their average of 0.80 goals scored in the last five games and two clean sheets, Huracán aims to control the midfield and capitalize on counter-attacks. The wing-backs, notably Hernán De La Fuente and César Ibáñez, are likely to support the attack, providing width and creating opportunities for the forwards. This tactical approach will be pivotal as they look to exploit Newell’s Old Boys’ defensive vulnerabilities.

Newell’s Old Boys have endured a tough stretch in recent matches, exhibiting a concerning form represented by DLDLL. This sequence includes three losses and two draws, underlining their struggles this season. They sit at the bottom of the Liga Profesional standings, occupying the 30th spot with only 11 points to their name.

Argentinos Juniors – Newell’s Old Boys 3-1
Newell’s Old Boys – Tigre 1-1
Boca Juniors – Newell’s Old Boys 5-0
Newell’s Old Boys – Estudiantes 1-1

Newell’s average just 0.60 goals scored and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five outings. Defensive frailties were notably exposed in their heavy 5-0 loss to Boca Juniors, suggesting that their backline struggles under pressure. This will be a key challenge for them as they face a motivated Huracán side.

Newell’s Old Boys Key Players

Despite a challenging season, a few players from Newell’s Old Boys stand out and could influence the match against Huracán. Carlos Gonzalez, the team’s top scorer with 2 goals, will be crucial in their attacking efforts. Alongside him, Luciano Herrera, operating as a right attacking midfielder, is expected to create goal-scoring opportunities and support Gonzalez upfront.

In the midfield, Martín Fernández and Valentino Acuña are pivotal, tasked with controlling the tempo and disrupting Huracán’s play. Their duel with Huracán’s midfield trio will be important.

Expected lineup for Newell’s Old Boys:

• Goalkeeper: Juan Espínola
• Defenders: Alejo Montero, Saúl Salcedo, Víctor Cuesta, Luca Sosa
• Midfielders: Martín Fernández, Valentino Acuña, Jerónimo Russo
• Right Attacking Midfielder: Luciano Herrera

• Forward: Carlos Gonzalez

With these key players, Newell’s will aim to overcome their poor form and mount a strong challenge against Huracán.

Newell’s Old Boys Suspensions & Injuries

Newell’s Old Boys are facing significant challenges, primarily due to injuries that could impact their performance against Huracán. The team will be without David Sotelo, who suffered a broken ankle and is out for the entirety of the season. This absence leaves a considerable gap in their defensive setup, particularly given Sotelo’s experience and influence on the pitch.

Injuries and the lack of clean sheets in their recent games highlight defensive frailties that coach Lucas Bernardi will need to address. Maintaining a solid defensive structure will be crucial against a Huracán team that is expected to push hard for goals, especially at home. Fortunately for Newell’s, there are no suspensions to further deplete their squad.

Newell’s Old Boys Tactics and Formation

Newell’s Old Boys, under coach Lucas Bernardi, are expected to adopt a flexible formation likely adjusting between 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1. Given their recent defensive struggles, this versatility aims to offer both defensive solidity and attacking opportunities.

Newell’s Old Boys Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: Primarily 4-4-2, shifting to 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Carlos Gonzalez, with 2 goals this season
• Midfield Duo: Martín Fernández and Valentino Acuña
• Defensive Struggles: No clean sheets in the last five games
• Critical Strategy: Strong attack during the 31-45-minute interval

The team will rely heavily on the creative play of their midfielders and the finishing abilities of Gonzalez upfront. With a leaky defence, the focus will be on maintaining a compact shape to counter Huracán’s offensive threats. The adaptability in formation should help them manage various phases of the game more efficiently, though overcoming their recent run of poor form remains a significant challenge.
