- Competition: Copa Sudamericana - Matchday 2
- Date: Thursday, 9th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00.00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco (Buenos Aires)
Looking to build on their winning start, Huracan welcome Racing Montevideo to Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco for matchday two of the Copa Sudamericana on Thursday at midnight.
Leonardo Sequeira earned hero status after firing home a brilliant brace to lead his Huracan side to a stunning 2-1 away victory over Brazilian giants Corinthians in the opening clash of their Copa Sudamericana group stage campaign.
In a high-tempo clash filled with chances at both ends, Racing Montevideo proved to be the poorer finishers as they fell to a heavy 3-1 loss at the hands of America de Cali, leaving their fanbase disappointed and kicking off their Copa Sudamericana campaign on the wrong foot.
Huracan vs Racing Montevideo Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5
Buoyed by their shock win over Corinthians in the opener, Huracan are determined to make it two from two in the Copa Sudamericana, but we think the resilient Uruguayan side will put up stiff resistance, which is why we see the home team grinding out a slim win. A clean-sheet win for Huracan seems entirely plausible, as they've displayed a well-drilled and organized backline on home soil and have kept their net untouched in 11 matches during their ongoing 13-game unbeaten run. Still, it seems the Buenos Aires-based side won’t have a smooth ride to victory, as Racing Montevideo have tightened up at the back lately, having kept their opponents off the scoresheet in three of their last four matches across all competitions. With their recent defensive improvements, there's little doubt that the green-and-white-clad side will try to disrupt the rhythm of the favored Huracan and turn Thursday's clash into a tense, cagey contest with few clear-cut scoring chances. With a gritty game anticipated, Huracán might come out victorious in a tight contest, with the lone winner likely to appear in the second half.
Huracan team news
With Gabriel Alanis still uncertain for Thursday’s game due to a late injury picked up on the opening day of the Copa Sudamericana against Corinthians, Rodrigo Cabral stands by to replace him.
Leonardo Sequeira, the hero of Huracán’s stunning victory over the Brazilian side last week, left the match late with a minor knock, but he’s expected to lead his team’s attack against Racing Montevideo.

Racing Montevideo team news
On the other hand, Racing Montevideo travels to Buenos Aires without the services of captain Jose Varela and striker Sebastian Sosa, as both are recovering from their respective injuries.
Maximiliano Pinela picked up a slight injury during the Copa Sudamericana opener, leading to his absence from the starting lineup in the league match against Plaza Colonia, but he could make a return to the defensive trio here.
