Huracán, with the debut of its new coach Sebastián Battaglia, receives Godoy Cruz de Mendoza in the match that starts the date 16 of the Professional Soccer League.
The match is played from 20:00 in the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, with the refereeing of Nicolás Lamolina and the television of ESPN and TV Pública.
The former Boca Juniors coach, with just two training sessions at the helm of the squad, begins his stage in the “Globo” by replacing Diego Dabove with the mission of removing him from the bottom of the standings.
The most successful footballer in the history of “Xeneize” will live a new experience in Argentine football ten months after his traumatic departure from Boca.
The mission for the 42-year-old from Santa Fe won’t be easy, given that “Globo” is in 23rd place with 16 points and between the tournament and the Copa Sudamericana he has won only one of his last eight games.
Godoy Cruz, on the other hand, has been growing since Daniel Oldrá took over as interim coach and with 22 units he is in the qualification zone for the next Copa Sudamericana.
Huracán and Godoy Cruz are even in history as both have won five games and drawn the same amount.
