With eyes on the Libertadores, Racing travel to Huracán | OneFootball

With an alternative lineup, as Gustavo Costas will preserve the starters, Racing visits Huracán this Friday

Huracán and Racing will face off from 19 at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó, for the ninth round of the 2025 Professional League Closing Tournament. El Globo is among the top eight of Group A, but needs to consolidate its position, while the Academy is coming off a major cup victory, but needs to win if it wants to dream of the next league phase.

How Huracán and Racing arrive at the duel for the Closing Tournament

Huracán needs a win to stay qualified for the next phase of the Closing Tournament and to show a recovery after the elimination from the South American Cup. After the fall against Once Caldas, El Globo tied three times in the Professional League: 1-1 with Unión, 0-0 with San Lorenzo and 0-0 with Vélez. A victory against Racing would give it the necessary boost to face the last part of the regular phase of the league.

On the other hand, Racing is coming from a major cup victory: it was 1-0 against Vélez in Liniers, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup, and is confident for the return in Avellaneda, although its coach was not satisfied: 'We won, but we did not play well'. In the Closing Tournament the reality is, diametrically, opposite. The Academy is at the bottom of Zone A and needs to close a gap of 5 points in eight rounds to reach the, today, last qualified.
