Published
Huracan face Gimnasia L.P. in Clausura Matchweek 13 of the Liga Profesional Argentina on Thursday, 15 October 2026, at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó in Capital Federal, Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Both teams enter the match level on 19 points in Group B, separated in the standings solely by goal difference.
Huracan defend an unbeaten six-match home run
Huracan hold fifth place in Clausura Group B with 19 points from 12 games, having recorded five wins, four draws, and three defeats with 11 goals scored and 10 conceded. Their league position is sustained by solid form at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó, where they have registered three wins, three draws, and zero losses in six home matches, conceding only twice. Although Huracan lost 2-0 away to Barracas Central on 10 October 2026, they had previously assembled three straight league wins against Aldosivi (1-0), River Plate (2-1), and Racing Club (2-1). Jordy Caicedo leads the attack with 13 goals across all competitions this season, though the side has produced an average of 1.24 expected goals while conceding 1.61 across their past five fixtures with chance metrics.
Gimnasia L.P. arrive after four consecutive draws
Gimnasia L.P. sit sixth in Group B with 19 points from 12 games, registering an even goal difference with 17 goals scored and 17 conceded. The visitors have drawn four consecutive matches, most recently drawing 1-1 at home against Atletico Tucuman on 9 October 2026 after identical 1-1 draws on the road at Independiente Rivadavia and Argentinos Juniors, alongside a 2-2 draw with Banfield. Away from home in this competition, their record stands at two wins, two draws, and two defeats from six fixtures. Top scorer Marcelo Torres has eight goals in all competitions, supported by team underlying metrics of 2.29 expected goals created and 0.85 conceded per match over their last five games. However, three confirmed injuries weaken the squad, with Gonzalo Errecalde, Jeremías Merlo, and Pedro Silva Torrejón all ruled out.
Our model leans towards a Huracan win
Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards a Huracan win. Huracan have remained unbeaten at home in this competition through six matches and won the previous meeting between the two sides 3-0 on 5 April 2026. Gimnasia L.P. bring superior underlying chance metrics, but four successive draws and three defensive absences complicate their visit to Buenos Aires.
