Huracán play for qualification against Argentinos in Parque Patricios | OneFootball

Huracán host the already-qualified Argentinos needing a win so they won’t have to rely on other results to reach the playoffs.

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

With qualification on the line, El Globo need all three points to cement their place among the top eight in Zone B, while their opponents arrive under less pressure after having already secured their spot in the next round.

The match will be refereed 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 last month, relying more on efficiency than on flashy football.

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

A win would take them to 24 points and secure their place in the next round, avoiding the pressure of going into the final matchday needing a result.

Argentinos, calm but ambitious

On the other side will be an Argentinos Juniors team arriving in a stable moment. Nicolás Diez’s side are coming off a win over Atlético Tucumán and have already sealed their place in the playoffs.

With that objective accomplished, El Bicho will now look to finish as high as possible in the standings, in a campaign in which they have stood out for their solidity at home, being one of the few unbeaten teams in that condition.
