Team Reviews
Instituto AC Córdoba
Instituto AC Córdoba, nicknamed La Gloria and coached by Diego Dabove, is 16th in the Argentine Primera División with 20 points from 18 matches (5 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses), per FootballAnt.com. They lost 2-1 to Talleres in the Argentina Cup Round of 32 on April 4, 2025, but advanced via penalties (4-2). Their form shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five matches across all competitions, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded per game. Key players include striker Santiago Rodríguez (3 goals in 2024 Primera División) and goalkeeper Manuel Roffo, who saved two penalties against Talleres. Instituto’s strengths are their home form (unbeaten in 5 of their last 7 home games against Huracán) and set-piece execution, but injuries to Juan Franco (ankle) and the absence of Santiago Fonseca and Agustín Bravo for this match weaken their squad. They aim to leverage their historical edge over Huracán to reach the quarter-finals.
CA Huracán
CA Huracán, known as El Globo and coached by Frank Darío Kudelka, is 18th in the Primera División with 19 points from 18 matches (4 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses). They advanced past Platense in the Argentina Cup Round of 32 via a 5-4 penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw. Their form includes 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 1.0 goals scored and 0.4 goals conceded per match. Key players include Ignacio Pussetto (4 goals in 2024) and goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez, who was pivotal in the shootout. Huracán’s strengths are their defensive solidity (0.4 goals conceded per game) and penalty expertise, but their attack struggles (20% of matches over 2.5 goals), and suspensions to Walter Mazzantti and Leandro Figueroa limit their options. They seek to upset Instituto in Rosario to continue their cup run.

Prediction: Instituto AC Córdoba 1-0 CA Huracán
This Round of 16 match on July 3, 2025, at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa, Rosario, at 9:10 PM ART (8:10 PM EDT), is a neutral-site clash with both teams’ fans present, per posts on X. Instituto’s Rodríguez and Damián Puebla could exploit Huracán’s attacking struggles, but Huracán’s Galíndez and Pussetto pose threats, especially in penalties. Instituto’s home-like edge in Rosario and historical advantage (5-1-0 in last 6 home games vs. Huracán) make them slight favorites, but Huracán’s defensive form (3 clean sheets in 5 games) suggests a tight game. Posts on X, like @LaVozQuemeraOK, highlight Huracán’s confidence, while @cholito82 notes Instituto’s absences. Trends (Instituto: 40% over 2.5 goals; Huracán: 20%) and head-to-head data point to a low-scoring affair. Referee Hernán Mastrángelo may issue cards if Instituto’s physicality, seen in their Talleres match, escalates. The match airs on TyC Sports and streams on Flow, with tickets to be announced.
Instituto is likely to score through Rodríguez, with Roffo holding firm against Pussetto. Instituto’s historical edge and home-like support in Rosario should secure a narrow win, advancing them to the quarter-finals, while Huracán’s defensive effort falls short.
