The most recent clash on February 3, 2026, saw Huracan thrash Newells 4-1 at this very venue. Earlier, on October 23, 2025, the teams drew 1-1 at Huracan, and on May 20, 2025, Huracan won 2-1 away. Newells have yet to beat Huracan, conceding seven goals in three matches.
Newells Old Boys Reserves sit 5th in the overall Liga Profesional Reserves table with 34 points from 18 games (10 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses). Their home form is outstanding: 2nd in the home standings with 8 wins and 1 loss from 9 matches, scoring 16 and conceding only 5. CA Huracan Reserves are outside the top 12 overall and do not feature in the top 8 of the away table, indicating a weaker campaign. The league positions clearly favour the home side.
We calculate the win probabilities as follows: Newells Old Boys Reserves 40%, draw 30%, CA Huracan Reserves 30%. This assessment starts from the bookmaker odds (home win 2.15–2.50, draw 2.00–2.82, away win 2.43–3.60). After removing the margin, the raw implied probabilities give a near three-way split. We then adjust for Newells' dominant home record (8-0-1) and higher league position, which lifts their chances. However, the head-to-head record – two Huracan away wins in two visits – prevents us from making the home side a clear favourite. The result is a finely balanced match where Newells have a marginal edge, but a draw or away win are very realistic outcomes.
Bookmakers offer a range of odds for this fixture. The best home win price is around 2.15, the draw as low as 2.00, and the away win up to 3.60. These odds reflect the competitive nature of the game, with the draw being the shortest price at some sportsbooks. Our prediction: based on the stats, Newells Old Boys Reserves are the most likely winners, but the head-to-head record and Huracan's ability to perform in this fixture mean a draw or away win cannot be ruled out. A cautious bet would be on the home side, but the value may lie in the draw market given the history between these two reserve teams.
