Huracan vs Belgrano
Huracán were unable to overcome the challenge of playing for more than an hour with ten men and suffered a very painful defeat on Thursday night, losing 2–0 away to newly promoted Estudiantes Río Cuarto, who had not won a match until then. As a result, El Globo saw their four-match unbeaten run in league play — two wins and two draws — come to an end and remain on nine points in the Torneo Apertura, still enough to occupy one of the playoff spots in Group B. At home, Huracán have won their last two matches — against San Lorenzo and Sarmiento, both by 1–0 scorelines. Belgrano continue to establish themselves as one of the best and most entertaining teams to watch in Argentine football. On Tuesday night, they delivered a footballing exhibition to defeat Atlético Tucumán 3–1 at home, with players such as Franco Vázquez, Lucas Zelarayán, and Emiliano Rigoni — among others — performing at an extremely high level. El Pirata have reached 15 points in the Torneo Apertura to stay second-placed in group B, one point behind leaders Independiente Rivadavia, and have extended their unbeaten run to eight league matches, with four wins and four draws. Away from home, they have won two and drawn two so far in 2026. Belgrano are one of the two teams still undefeated this season (Velez is the other one) powered by their very strong attack with Vazquez, Zelarrayan and Fernandez. Huracan has been too irregular and they are coming from losing against one of the worst teams of the league so I have to trust the visitors to continue with their solid run.
