After starting the new season with a couple of draws against Argentinos Juniors and Union Santa Fe, Boca Juniors will hope to notch their first win against Huracan, who enter this match in the same situation.

Huracan preview: Preparing for a tough fight
Just like their next opponent Boca Juniors, Huracan also drew in both of their first two games in the new Primera Division season, against Estudiantes and Belgrano. Huracan fans will hope for a good performance against Boca Juniors, but their team has rarely celebrated against this opponent in the past, so Huracan might have to wait another game for their first win of the season.
Meanwhile, Lucas Carizzo and Daniel Zabala will miss this match through injuries.
Predicted lineup: Galindez (GK), Ibanez, Pellegrino, Pereyra, Guidara, Gil, Perez, Alanis, Watson, Mazzantti & Ramirez

Player to watch: Miguel Merentiel
Last season Merentiel had 21 goals in Primera Division, including both Copa de la Liga and Liga Profesional, so he will be one of the main offensive anchors for Boca Juniors this season as well. That being said, Merentiel has yet to score this season after the first two rounds, so keep an eye on him against Huracan.
