The team hasn’t scored in its last 4 matches, having a goal scoring average of just 0.40.Moreover, the team would be missing out on Matias Gonzalez, Luis Del Pino, Dylan Gissi, Alexis Maldonado due to injuries, and Alejandro Cabrera due to suspension, as it received two yellow cards in its previous game against Union. To combat Huracan’s attack, Banfeild needs to play more defensively, or else it's likely to struggle.

According to their match history, their last 4 encounters against each other have ended with a total of over 2.5 goals, so we can expect a high scoreline. However, as Banfeild is missing out on players and has been seen with poor attack in its past away games, the match is expected to be pretty one-sided with Huracan dominating the scoreline, and taking the win.
