Huachipato vs Racing Club Match Analysis & Prediction
14/08/2024 1:00 am
The Copa Sudamericana returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Chilean outfit Huachipato and Argentine side Racing Club meet at Estadio Sausalito on Wednesday.
While the visitors cruised through the group stages, the Chilean side had to see off Racind de Montevideo on penalties in the playoffs following their group-stage exit from the Copa Libertadores.
Huachipato had to dig deep in the playoff of the Sudamericana as they overturned a first-leg deficit to secure a penalty-shootout victory over Uruguayan side Racing de Montevideo.
Having suffered a 3-2 first-leg defeat in Chile on July 16, Cris Martinez grabbed the headlines in the return leg one week later as his ninth-minute strike was enough to hand Huachipato a 1-0 victory at the Centenario Stadium and take the tie to penalties, where they secured a 3-0 win.
That was a much-needed result for Huachipato, who were eliminated from the Copa Libertadores after picking up eight points from six matches to finish third in Group C, two points off runners-up Gremio.
Igor Oca’s side head into Wednesday’s Copa Sudamericana tie fresh off the back of a goalless draw against Cobresal at the Estadio Sausalito on Saturday, which extended their winless run in the league to four matches.
Meanwhile, Racing Club enjoyed a solid Copa Sudamericana group-stage campaign as they secured five wins from their six matches to finish top of Group H with 15 points from a possible 18 – the highest number of points of all 32 teams.
Racing Club’s only defeat came on November 10, when they were beaten 2-1 by Brazilian side RB Bragantino at Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid through a brace from Thiago Borbas.
Gustavo Costas’ side head into Wednesday’s contest fresh off the back of a somewhat disappointing 1-0 defeat to Gimnasia, a result that saw their run of four successive home wins in the Argentine Primera Division come to an end.

Oca could name a similar side from the draw against Cobresal, meaning Maximiliano Gutierrez, Benjamin Gazzolo, Imanol Gonzalez and Antonio Castillo could form the back four, with Fabian Cerda starting in goal.
There should be a front three of Mario Briceno, Maximiliano Rodriguez and 31-year-old Martinez, who has four goals in his last four matches.

Racing Club will have to cope without experienced defender Agustin Garcia, who is set to sit his sixth successive game after coming off injured in June’s game against Lanus.
Juan Nardoni missed the game against Gimnasia through a sprained ankle and the 22-year-old midfielder is also out of contention for this match.
