River Plate – Huracan preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted River Plate vs Huracan lineups.
River Plate
River Plate had to show character last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to 9 (W7 D2). Conceded very early on their visit to Gimnasia La Plata and only thanks to 2 very late goals turned the tables and won 2-1. Played well only inside the final 30 minutes but that was enough.
Continue to top the table and dominate almost every game at home. River won 17 of their 18 home league games this calendar year.
Defender Lecanda and the important wide midfielder De La Cruz remain in the treatment room.
Predicted Lineup:
Armani (GK), Simon, Gonzalez, P. Diaz, E. Diaz, Colidio, Perez, Fernandez, Lanzini, Barco & Borja
Huracan
Huracan remain in the top 3 despite losing their form in recent weeks (W1 D1 L3). Last weekend boring 0-0 home draw vs Baracas was registered. The display was toothless and the only positive from it was that defensively Huracan looked very solid.
Uruguayan striker Coccaro remains the main hope up front but he lost his form lately. Failed to score in 8 of the last 9 rounds.
Huracan don’t seem to have any injury issues and the manager might consider refreshing the front line.
Predicted Lineup:
Chaves (GK), Souto, Pereira, Carizo, Ibanez, Echeverria, Alarcon, Fertoli, Perez, Coccaro & Mazzantti

Player to Watch: Manuel Lanzini
River Plate’s playmaker Manuel Lanzini is a man under pressure right now. The 30-year-old ex-West Ham player started all of the 11 games since joining the club this summer but he is yet to score.
Lanzini has 4 assists but his first goal for the club is yet to come and there are signs the fans and the manager are starting to get impatient with him. Lanzini needs to open his goal account and he needs to do it soon. Could this be the game?
