Instituto vs Huracan Prediction: An extremely even match

At neutral location in Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao Lopez, Instituto and Huracan will play in a match of 1/16 finals of Copa Argentina. There isn’t any favorite in this match, the bookmakers are giving equal chances for a win on both teams. Both teams are competing in the Argentinian best league, and this season Instituto showed much better performance. The winner of this match will play against Racing Club in the 1/8 finals of the competition.

Form: LWWLD

Instituto won 2:1 in the last round against Dep. Riestra and without trouble got to this round of competition. In the league, they finished in 18th place after the first part of the season. They have 2 wins, 2 defeats, and a draw in the last 5 matches, and in the last match of the domestic league, they were heavily defeated by Codoy Cruz 4:2.

Form: WWLLL

Huracan were playing very badly in the league, they finished in 26th position. In the 1/32 finals, they won confidently with 4:1 against Yupangui and they justified the role of huge favorite in that match. Huracan improved their form and in the last 2 matches in the league they have 2 wins, but in the last 10 matches, they only have 2 wins, a draw, and 7 defeats. 

It’s really hard to distinguish these teams, they have similar playing styles, and I think that to the next phase will continue the team that will be mentally more ready. In the h2h matches Insituto are a much better team, but this is a match that can save the season after such a bad performances in the league for both teams and I think that they will play very carefully. In my opinion there aren’t going to be many goals in this match and I don’t think that both teams will score goals.
