Key Stats
- Eight of Huracan’s last nine matches in all competitions have featured under 2.5 goals, so expect margins to be slim on Wednesday.

- Huracan have failed to win seven of their last nine away matches in all competitions.
- Yuri Alberto scored three goals in Corinthians’ last four home fixtures.

- HOME: 13/20 (1.65) – 60.6%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Corinthians have been a formidable force at home for an extended period, so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to see them listed as 13/20 favourites to win on Wednesday.
Huracan have had some trouble on the road since December and they are hefty 9/2 underdogs ahead of their Copa Sudamericana group opener this week. View more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Huracan preview: Guidara and Carrizo could miss out
Ezequiel Guidara and Lucas Carrizo are both considered doubtful for Huracan and could miss Wednesday's game. Huracan drew 0-0 at Banfield in their last assignment, so they will be hoping to make more of an impact in the final third when they visit Brazil.
Predicted lineup: Galindez (GK), De La Fuente, Pereyra, Pellegrino, Ibanez, Ojeda, Gil, Mazzantti, Miljevic, Alanis, Ramirez

Player to watch – Yuri Alberto
Corinthians attacker Yuri Alberto has been excelling in home fixtures for his team of late and has scored three times in his club’s last three matches on home soil.
Alberto has a golden touch at the Neo Química Arena
The Neo Química Arena has been a fertile hunting ground for Yuri Alberto in recent weeks and the highly-regarded 24-year-old forward will be eager to deliver the goods in familiar surroundings for the fourth time in as many games this week.
