In the second phase of the Argentine Primera División, Club Atletico Huracan will welcome Atletico Tucaman to the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium this Sunday with both sides registering relatively underwhelming performances early on in this stage of the competition.
Only one point is separating these two right now ahead of this fourth match in the second phase, with Huracan sitting on four points compared to the five points of Tucaman, with the latter going undefeated from their three games so far with two draws and a win to boast of.

What's more, this has brought in three goals and two goals conceded for them early on.
As for the home side, however, it's been a tough time in the second phase so far, as they have drawn one, lost one, and won another.
It leaves them with three goals scored and the same amount conceded, and it now means they have the exact record of winning, losing, drawing, scoring, and conceding the exact same amount level across the division’s second phase so far.
Things were very different in the first phase, however. Huracan would finish seventh in Group B of the Argentine Primera Division, as they managed to register 18 points from 14 games with only five wins on the board.
It did leave them two points adrift of the top four, while they finished an alarming 10 points behind league leaders, Estudiantes.
As for Tucumán, they had it even worse in the first phase of the competition, with them winning only two games from the 14 outings in Group A.
This left them with just one point separating them and bottom-placed Patronato, with Tucaman finishing an almighty 19 points behind league leaders, Racing Club.
It is also, stunningly, the first meeting between the two since 2019 due to the pandemic, where they drew 0-0 back in September of that year in a dull, lacklustre game.
Given how only three points was the difference in the first phase, and how they’re only one point apart right now in the second phase, it shows how close these two clubs are.
Ultimately, they will be battling for a top six finish this season, but in this game, it does look as if now much is going to separate them.
Forebet predicts the game to see under 2.5 goals in this one, as a draw is expected with them only scoring a combined 30 goals in the 28 games they played in the first phase.
