Hey there, football fanatics! Ready to dive into another action-packed clash in the Argentine
Super League? We've got a tantalizing matchup on the cards as
Newell's Old Boys gear up to take on
CA Huracan this April 29th. Let's get into the nitty-gritty and see who might have the upper hand in this thrilling encounter.
Newell's Old Boys overview
Newell's Old Boys, oh they've been on quite the ride lately. This crew's really finding their feet this season, haven't they? Just look at how solid they've been in their recent run. Two draws followed by three wins? That's the stuff of champions in the making.
Leading their charge is the dynamic duo of David Sotelo and Lisandro Sebastian Montenegro. Sotelo's agility and Montenegro's keen eye for goal are just a treat to watch. And let's not forget the rock between the posts, Keylor Navas, who's been a fortress, shooing away anything that dares approach.
In terms of recent performances, they held Union de Santa Fe to a 1-1 draw before stalemates with the likes of Argentinos Juniors. However, impressive wins against Tigre (2-0) and Boca Juniors (also 2-0) tell me they're a team on a mission.
Their strength is their ironclad defense paired with that quick counter-attack, though sometimes they lack punch in the midfield. They'll need to gear up for a battle 'cause Huracan ain't backing off easily. Speaking of which, let's shift to their rivals.

CA Huracan overview
Switching gears to
CA Huracan, where do we even start? These guys have been a mixed bag this season. Moments of brilliance intertwined with heart-stopping draws make them quite the unpredictable bunch.
Keep your eyes peeled on Franco Watson and Ramon Abila. Watson’s tricky playstyle and Abila's knack for finding the net could spell trouble for any defense. And Hernan Ismael Galindez, the dependable shot-stopper, adds stability at the back.
Their recent fixtures show a decent spread of outcomes. They've had a couple of gritty draws against America de Cali and Defensa y Justicia, a high-scoring 3-3 draw with Aldosivi, and a dominant 5-0 win over Racing Montevideo. That away victory at Central Cordoba (2-1) is a clear indicator they can turn on the style when needed.
Huracan's got this pace and flair going for them, especially excelling in swift transitions. Their Achilles heel? Maybe a defense a bit prone to lapses, especially when pressured hard on away turf. Fun fact, though, they've snatched the win more times than any other result when clashing with Newell's. On to the showdown stats next!
H2H stats
Looking back at history, Newell's and Huracan's rivalry is almost neck-and-neck. Out of 19 clashes, Huracan have a slight edge with 7 wins compared to Newell's 6, leaving 6 draws in between. Here's some key factors worth keeping an eye on:
- Newell's recent form – unbeaten in their last five matches, formidably in control against Boca.
- Huracan's potent attack – they've hit the net prolifically, 5 past Racing Montevideo is no small feat.
- The key battle – Sotelo vs Watson, the creative geniuses of their respective sides.
- Set-piece threat – Newell's good at capitalizing from dead-ball situations.
- Huracan’s away tactics – impressive recent away performances give them confidence.
From my vantage point, both teams have a fight in them. But perhaps Newell's steady form gives them a slight upper hand on home soil?
Summary and Prediction
So, after weighing it all up, my gut says Newell's might just edge this one. Let's call it 2-1 in favor of the Boys. There's that stubbornly solid defense and some home-ground grit at play here. For those of you placing your bets down, maybe look at a Newell's win or even both teams to score. After all, Huracan's offense isn't easy to shut out.
Whatever you decide, may the odds be in your favor! Let's hope for a game that delivers goals, drama, and a cocktail of emotions. Enjoy the match, folks!
