This is one of the oldest fixtures in Argentine football, with Racing holding a historical advantage of 80 wins to Huracan's 39 across 169 meetings. However, recent encounters have been much tighter; the reverse fixture in May ended in a 0-0 stalemate, and Huracan famously triumphed 5-3 in a high-scoring 2023 clash.

• Racing Club are currently on a seven-match winless streak in league play.
• Huracan have kept clean sheets in two of their last three home fixtures.
• The last two meetings between these sides have produced zero goals for Huracan.
• Racing have lost their last two away matches by a combined score of 5-2.

Huracan receive a major boost with the return of Ecuadorian striker Jordy Caicedo, who is the team's top scorer this term with four goals. His return is timely as the hosts will be without Ignacio Pussetto, who is sidelined following surgery on a fractured hand. No specific absences have been reported for Racing Club, who will likely rely on their veteran core to arrest their current slump.
