The match, valid for Group B, will be played from 11:00 pm (Argentina time) at the George Capwell stadium in Guayaquil, with the Brazilian referee Bruno Arleu and broadcast by Directv Sports.
El Globo made his international competition debut in a 4-1 win over Paraguay’s Guaraní at home and remained the zone’s leader on goal difference.
Instead, Emelec, led by Argentine Miguel Rondelli, fell 2-0 against Danubio in Montevideo and will be at home in the midst of a football crisis due to four consecutive defeats.
Huracán is also urgent as they drew goalless against Argentinos Juniors for the 2023 Professional League tournament on Saturday and are eight rounds without a win.
Huracán and Emelec met twice in the group stage of the 2019 Copa Libertadores: in Ecuador they drew 0-0 and in Buenos Aires they won the away match 2-1.
