Huachipato (Chile) – Racing (Argentina)
Huachipato FC advanced to the round of 16 thanks to their victory on penalties after a 1-0
away win over Racing (Uruguay) at Estadio Centenario. Last Friday, Igor Oca’s men drew 0-0
at home against CD Cobresal, failing to climb out of the relegation zone in the Chilean league
table after accumulating 18 points in as many rounds. El Acerero claimed a single win in their
last seven competitive matches, drawing two and losing four in that time. As hosts, Huachipato
are on four without a win (two stalemates and two defeats).
Racing Club skipped the playoff thanks to their convincing 3-0 home success over Sportivo
Luqueno at Lanus, finishing at the top of the group H table on 15 points, advantaging Red
Bull Bragantino by two. On Friday, La Academia succumbed to a surprising 1-0 home defeat
to Gimnasia LP, which prevented them from becoming Liga Profesional leaders. They remain
on 17 points after ten rounds, trailing table toppers Huracan by three. On a positive note,
Gustavo Costas’ men remain into the Copa Libertadores’ zone in the aggregate table after
winning only one of the last four (one draw and two losses). Racing remain winless in the
last three on the road, drawing one and losing two.
Can’t see Huachipato worried about this game when they are in the relegation zone of the
Chilean league and only 1 win in their last 9 games. Racing has been irregular lately but
they’ll have a full lineup available here as they focused on this tournament and want to
recover fast from a bad result in the league last week, and as I rate them as a much better
team than the hosts who can’t even play at their own stadium, I’ll go with the away win.
Bet: Racing -0.5 @ 2.05
