Round eight of the 2022 Argentine Primera Division season sees Huracan visit the Estadio 15 de Abril to face off against Union on Sunday.
The teams are closely matched in the league table heading into this weekend's clash which promises to be a closely-contested affair.
We say: Union 1-1 Huracan
There is very little to choose between the teams ahead of the clash which could easily swing in either direction. We are backing the sides to cancel each other out, giving rise to a share of the spoils in the end.

Buoyed by their cup win over Barracas Central, River Plate will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to move into the top half of the table. They face a Velez side who have suffered a slump in recent weeks and we predict they will come out victorious on Sunday.
