Huracán vs Independiente Match Preview
On Saturday night the Globos will have to take on Tolo Gallego's Independiente determined to fly high, but it's clear there won't be an opportunity for both to be satisfied, as a draw will not be enough for any of them. Chulo Rivoira's team is standing at the sixth position and they know tearing down one of the leaders might solidly establish Huracan as a candidate for the title, even though a long path will have to be walked to satisfy such urge. Patricio Toranzo, one of team's historic players recognized this will be a tough match, but they "owe a victory to our followers after the derby" Ezequiel Fillipetto's suspension will leave Pablo Jérez a chance to show his expertise in the starting squad, and Leandro Díaz might be ready to recover its place in the team though Kily Peralta has done an excellent job covering for him.
Thanks to Godoy Cruz's misstep against River Independiente was able to recover the top, though now they've to share it with Estudiantes, whose International experience might lean the fight on their side. The Rojos have the best defense in the tournament, having received only 11 goals in 15 matches, and much of this has to do with the solidity of the man between the posts, whose gloves will have to stand against the fury of some of this league's most dangerous players. Luciano Vella's injury will be Leonel Galeano's chance to recover its place in the squad, joining Eduardo Tuzzio and Julian Velazquez in the back line. This defensive formation will let Lucas Mareque free to go forward without caring so much for leaving open spaces in the midfield, providing the Devils with an improved offense to mitigate Dario Gandin's absence. Ready to claim the title after many years the Rojos will have to be really focused to return to Avellaneda with a victory.
