With one eye 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 Clausura Tournament. El Globo is among the top eight of Group A, but needs to consolidate its position, while La Academia is coming off a big cup win, but needs to win if it wants to dream of the next league phase.

How Huracán and Racing are arriving at the Clausura Tournament duel

Huracán needs a win to stay qualified for the next phase of the Clausura Tournament and to show a recovery after being eliminated from the South American Cup. After the fall against Once Caldas, El Globo drew 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 them the necessary boost to face the last part of the regular league phase.

On the other hand, Racing is coming off a big cup win: it was 1-0 against Vélez in Liniers, for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, and is confident for the return leg in Avellaneda, although its coach was not satisfied: 'We won, but we didn't play well'. In the Clausura Tournament, the reality is, diametrically, opposite. La Academia is in the lower part of Zone A and needs to close a gap of 5 points in eight rounds to reach the, today, last qualifier.
