Huracan’s have the momentum to edge out Instituto
Huracan are in the better form and have a marginally higher power ranking than Instituto for their upcoming all-Argentinian Copa Argentina Round of 16 match, so we believe the Instituto de Cordoba vs Atletico Huracan odds for them to take all three points at 2.16 are very attractive. The hosts will be looking to cause an upset and can be backed at 3.31, but the favourites have more momentum to carry into this one.
Instituto de Cordoba have a lower home power rank than Huracan’s away power rating (122.7 vs 123.5) but that doesn’t tell us much in terms of which team is more likely to qualify for the quarter-final this Thursday. In this Instituto de Cordoba vs Atletico Huracan preview, both of these teams can win this cup competition and both will be desperate to do so as it would be a massive boost to the club.
Huracan boss Frank Darío Kudelka has done a brilliant job to get this team where they are today with a solid defensive base and a swift transition philosophy that is a big reason why the team have won 16 of their 29 games in all competitions this year.
Tight tactical battle likely in Cordoba
Instituto’s men are a well-structured outfit that like to play in shape and circulate the ball well in a 4-2-3-1 system. However, they have been sloppy at the back and paid the price for defensive lapses in their 1–3 defeat against Argentinos Juniors.
Our Instituto de Cordoba vs Atletico Huracan prediction also points out that Instituto average 1.6 goals conceded per match across their last ten in all competitions, which does not bode well for their hopes of keeping an improving Huracan attack at bay this week. Huracan have multiple creative threats going forward and take an average of 18 shots per match, so have the quality to hurt the host’s defence from multiple angles within their compact 4-4-2 system.
Instituto will look to press moderately and remain structured and organised, but based on this Instituto de Cordoba vs Atletico Huracan prediction, we don’t think they will be able to withstand Huracan’s high-intensity pressing from the flanks. Neither side have major injury concerns, but Huracan’s consistency and sharpness in defence and attack makes them favourites here, and we are backing them for the win.
If you are looking for Instituto de Cordoba vs Atletico Huracan betting tips, there is a strong likelihood of BTTS ‘yes’ in this game, but the main selection is for Huracan to continue their fine form with a narrow victory.
