Huracán Faces Racing in Copa Sudamericana Showdown

The Huracán football team will face Racing de Montevideo in a crucial match to break a streak of three games without scoring. Players like Walter Mazzantti, Erik Ramírez, and Agustín Urzi will be key in this encounter. Matías Tissera, who was detained, has received authorization to join the squad and will be available to play.

On their part, Racing arrives at the match with a negative streak of six games without victories in all competitions, while in the Uruguayan Apertura Tournament, they haven't won since early April. The Uruguayan team relies on the grit and skill of Santiago Ramírez and Bautista Tomatis to surprise in the match.

The probable lineups are as follows: Racing de Montevideo: Lautaro Amade; Guillermo Cotugno, Martin Ferreira, Lucas Monzon, Gaston Bueno, Thiago Espinosa; Lucas Rodríguez, Juan Bosca; Felipe Cairus, Bautista Tomatis, Santiago Ramírez. Coach: Cristian Chambian. Huracán: Hernán Galíndez; Tomás Guidara, Fabio Pereyra, Marco Pellegrino, César Ibáñez; Leonel Pérez, Leonardo Gil; Walter Mazzantti, Matko Miljevic, Agustín Urzi; Leonardo Sequeira. Coach: Frank Darío Kudelka.

Huracán leads Group C of the Copa Sudamericana with two victories and one draw, while Racing has yet to earn points. In their last encounter, Huracán won 5-0. The challenge now is to repeat that performance as visitors at the historic Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.

The match will take place this Thursday, officiated by Augusto Menéndez from Peru, with VAR overseen by Milagro Arruela, also from Peru. Huracán seeks to secure their qualification in the tournament, while Racing needs to earn their first points to stay competitive. Both teams are going through complicated moments locally, making this match even more significant for them.
