América de Cali vs Atlético Huracán prediction, H2H and probable lineups - May 15, 2025
The Matchday 5 showdown of the Copa Sudamericana group stage between Colombia’s América de Cali and Atlético Huracán will take place this Thursday at the Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero in Cali. I’m backing a bet on goals in this clash with a promising odds value.
Match preview
América de Cali enters this encounter sitting second in Group C with six points. However, three consecutive draws in their recent Copa Sudamericana outings have left the side in a tricky position. Table-toppers Huracán are four points clear of the Colombians, with Corinthians breathing down their necks.
Despite remaining unbeaten in the Copa Sudamericana, América’s struggles to convert chances could haunt them, especially against a resilient Huracán. It’s also worth noting that the last time América lost a home match in any official competition was back in early November—since then, they’ve racked up 10 wins in 16 games across all tournaments.
Huracán, on the other hand, have been flawless in the tournament, leading the group with 10 points. Frank Darío Kudelka’s men boast a solid defense and a potent attack, and they’ll only need a draw to secure their spot in the round of 16.
They head into this Copa Sudamericana fixture after a dramatic 3-2 home win over Deportivo Riestra in the Apertura playoffs last weekend. As for their away form, Huracán have suffered just one defeat in their last eight road games, picking up five wins along the way.
Probable lineups
- América de Cali: J. Soto, E. Mena, D. Bocanegra, J. Pestana, Y. Candelo, K. Barrios, S. Navarro, R. Carrascal, J. Quintero, D. Vergara, R. Holgada
- Atlético Huracán: E. Ramírez, A. Urzi, M. Miljevic, L. Sequeira, L. Gil, P. Ojeda, C. Ibáñez, M. Pellegrino, F. Pereira, J. de la Fuente, J. Galíndez
Match facts and head-to-head
- The reverse fixture ended in a 0-0 draw
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet has landed in two of Atlético Huracán’s last five matches
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet has not landed in any of América de Cali’s last five games
Prediction
As we can see, the hosts are strong at home and haven’t lost on their turf for quite some time. However, they need nothing less than a win here to keep Corinthians at bay. They have a real shot at victory, but only if they capitalize on their opportunities. Our recommendation: back the "Under 2.0 goals" at 1.80 odds.
