We say: Huracan – Atlético Tucuman 1:1
While Huracan will look to return to winning ways, they will be hampered by an opposing side who are unbeaten in seven straight games in all competitions. However, Atletico Tucuman have failed to win any of their last 13 away games and we expect that trend to continue as the spoils are shared in this game.
