Huracan Team Analysis

Huracan Recent Performance DDDLD

Huracan’s recent performances have been a mixed bag, reflected in their Draw, Draw, Draw, Loss, Draw record over the last five matches. Despite sitting 17th in the standings with 13 points, they have managed to keep three clean sheets in these games.

Opponent	Result
Independiente Rivadavia	0-0
Racing Club	0-2
Velez Sarsfield	0-0
San Lorenzo	0-0
Union	1-1

Their defensive stability has been solid, as evidenced by these clean sheets. However, their struggles up front are undeniable, with an average of just 0.20 goals scored per game recently. This lack of offensive firepower has been a significant hurdle for Coach Frank Kudelka’s men, although their defensive discipline provides a foundation to build upon.
Given their current form, Huracan will look to leverage their home advantage and seek to improve their scoring touch in this crucial matchup against Banfield.

Huracan Key Players

For Huracan, the spotlight will be on Matko Miljevic, their top scorer this season, even though he has only 1 goal to his name. His role as the attacking midfielder will be crucial in breaking down Banfield’s defence. Leonardo Sequeira and Juan Bisanz on the wings will also look to provide the necessary spark to reignite Huracan’s offence.

In defence, Nehuen Paz and Fabio Pereyra have been solid, contributing to Huracan’s three clean sheets in the last five games. Goalkeeper Hernan Galindez will aim to keep another clean sheet to give his team the best chance of securing points.

Expected lineup for Huracan:

• Goalkeeper: Hernan Galindez
• Defenders: Tomás Guidara, Fabio Pereyra, Nehuen Paz, Cesar Ibanez
• Midfielders: Emmanuel Ojeda, Leonardo Gil, Leonardo Sequeira, Matko Miljevic, Juan Bisanz
• Forward: Luciano Gimenez

Key individual battles will likely feature Miljevic against Banfield’s Sergio Vittor, as Huracan’s playmaker looks to unlock the opposition’s defence.

Huracan Suspensions & Injuries

Huracan will be without a couple of key players due to injuries, which could impact their overall performance and depth. Daniel Zabala is sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury and is expected to be out until early January 2026. This is a significant blow to Huracan’s defensive lineup. Additionally, Leonel Perez, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, is expected to return by mid-October 2025, but will not feature in this match against Banfield.

While there are no suspensions affecting the team, these injuries will test the squad depth. Coach Frank Kudelka will likely rely on his regular starters to perform at their best to make up for these absences, particularly in crucial defensive roles. The team’s defensive stability, which has been a strong suit recently, will need to hold firm despite these setbacks.

Huracan Tactics and Formation

Huracan’s approach under coach Frank Kudelka is grounded in defensive solidity, evidenced by their three clean sheets in the last five games. However, their primary issue has been a lack of goals, with only 0.20 goals on average per game recently.

• Formation: 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Luciano Gimenez
• Midfield Setup: Emmanuel Ojeda and Leonardo Gil provide defensive cover, while Matko Miljevic operates as the attacking midfielder.

His ability to find the net might be the deciding factor in this closely contested match. Rodrigo Auzmendi will also be essential in attack, providing support and creating opportunities.
