Estudiantes (LDWLW)

Going into this matchup, Estudiantes had a rather surprising defeat against Union Santa Fe. After 2 great results on rounds 4 and 5, Estudiantes were expected to at least secure a point. Despite the defeat, this is a very misleading result of what happened in the match. Union Santa Fe got more ball possession during the first half but was Estudiantes who created better goal-scoring chances. The beginning of the second half was disastrous for Estudiantes, who conceded an early goal, following a defensive corner. After the goal was conceded, Estudiantes was even more launched in the attack, but this would come to 2-0 in a counterattack situation. Estudiantes continued in search of a draw however, the lack of effectiveness did not allow them to reduce the result. Estudiantes remains one of the worst attacks of the league, with only 4 goals scored in 6 matches. They clearly have to improve their effectiveness in front of the goal if they want to get some points in this difficult game against Huracan.

Huracan (DDWDW)

Once again, Huracan comes to this match without losing a single game, the only one in the league with this record. Nonetheless, this was a bit of a disappointing result, as a win could have allowed them to leap for 1st place. However, it was one of the best matches of round 6, against 2nd place San Lorenzo. Huracan started the game really well, with a goal in the first 20 minutes, on the conversion of a penalty. Yet San Lorenzo took control of the game in the 1st half and was able to equalize on the last shot of the first half with an amazing goal by Elias. The second half was totally dominated by Huracan, who created lots of scoring chances, but the lack of efficiency and fine goalkeeping by Batalla didn't allow Huracan to convert the chances into goals. Once again they scored a goal, the fifth match where they scored in 6 rounds played so far. But Copa Libertadores Qualifiers can be a heavy burden for Huracan, due to a large amount of travel and games that have been done consecutively.

Will fatigue take a toll on Huracan or will they be able to win this game?
