Huracan can end a nine-match winless run in all competitions when they host Newell's Old Boys on matchday 21 of the Argentina Primera Division campaign this Friday at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco.
For the moment, Globo find themselves third from the bottom following a 1-0 loss at Gimnasia last Tuesday, while La Lepra have points in three straight domestic encounters, as they are currently 12th in the opening phase following a 1-1 draw at home to Union.
We say: Huracan 0-0 Newell's Old Boys
Both sides focus on defence first and are rather indecisive in the attacking third, which leads us to believe we will see a stalemate between the two later this week.

Argentinos Juniors can close the gap between themselves and Defensa y Justicia to a single point in the Argentine Primera Division campaign with a victory on Friday at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.
El Bicho are in ninth following a 1-0 road victory at Velez Sarsfield, four points behind Defensa, who are seventh despite Halcon falling 1-0 to River Plate over the weekend.
We say: Argentinos Juniors 0-1 Defensa y Justicia
Defensa have been sharp on the back end away from home throughout much of the campaign, while their recent form against Argentinos and consistently strong defensive shape has us leaning towards them claiming another road victory.
