Huracán chase qualification against Argentinos in Parque Patricios | OneFootball

Huracán hosts already-qualified Argentinos with the obligation to win so as not to depend on other results and make the playoffs.

Huracán will face a decisive match this Monday at 9 p.m. against Argentinos Juniors at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, for Matchday 16 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament.

With qualification on the line, El Globo needs all three points to secure its place among the top eight in Zone B, while its opponent arrives under less pressure after having already secured a spot in the next round.

The match will be officiated by Ariel Penel, with Lucas Cavallero on VAR, and will be broadcast on ESPN Premium.

Huracán, from crisis to hope

Not long ago, the outlook in Parque Patricios was bleak. However, Huracán managed to get back on track over the past month, relying more on efficiency than footballing flair.

The 1-1 draw against Tigre left a clear lesson: the core of the team should not be changed. With 21 points and several teams close behind—Barracas, Gimnasia, Tigre itself, and Racing—the margin for error is minimal.

A win would allow them to reach 24 points and secure their place in the next stage, avoiding going into the final matchday under pressure.

Argentinos, calm but ambitious

On the other side will be an Argentinos Juniors team arriving in a stable moment. Nicolás Diez’s side is coming off a win over Atlético Tucumán and has already clinched qualification for the playoffs.

With that objective achieved, El Bicho will now look to finish as high up the table as possible, in a campaign in which it has stood out for its solidity at home, being one of the few unbeaten teams in that condition.
