After an intense weekend in the LFP, we arrived at the 14th date of the tournament with Atlético Tucumán leading more than ever, continuing with its excellent level of play and gradually distancing itself from the closest pursuers.
Gimnasia and Huracán are close behind, 3 and 5 points respectively. Meanwhile, River Plate seems to have revived, and with their fourth win in their last 5 games, they have managed to climb up to fifth place in the standings.
Another of the big teams, Boca Juniors, has been slowly adding important points and, although they are in 11th place in the table, they are only 4 points behind third place, so, if they continue on this good run, sooner rather than later they will be in the fight for the top places in the general classification table.
Although there is still a long way to go this season, the teams know that they are obliged to score as many points as possible to prevent those at the top of the standings from moving away from them.
The following is an analysis of some of the most important matches of this 14th day of the Argentinean tournament.

The tournament leader, Atlético Tucumán, travels to the Estadio José Dellagiovanna “El Coliseo de la Victoria”, home of Tigre, to play its match corresponding to the 14th matchday of the Primera Argentina, this Wednesday, August 17, 2022.
El Decano continues to set the pace of the season with its excellent level of play during the first 13 matchdays of the championship. That is why they continue to be the leaders of the general classification table and, if some results occur this round, they could escape even further.
Atlético Tucumán comes from a very complicated match against Central Córdoba the previous day, where they won a narrow victory with a score of 1-0 thanks to a goal scored by Renzo Tesuri in the 54th minute.
On the other hand, Tigre arrives at this matchday in very good shape with 4 consecutive matches without defeat, so their confidence and spirits are high.
In this time, el Matador has a record of 2 wins and 2 draws and, thanks to this, they have positioned themselves in 12th place in the general classification table, only 4 points from fifth place.

Another great match is the one we will be able to enjoy this Thursday, August 18 between Union and Gimnasia, which will be played at the 15 de Abril Stadium, home of Union.
Both teams arrive in a completely different situation in this 14th round of Primera Argentina. Gimnasia is Atlético Tucumán’s main rival at the top of the table. El Lobo has had a spectacular season with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, just 3 points behind first place.
Gimnasia comes from tying their last game against Velez with a score of 1-1.
On the other hand, Union comes from cutting a very good streak of 4 games without defeat in their last game against Argentinos Juniors, where they were crushed with a score of 0-2.
One of the highlights for Union is that it is one of the teams that has scored the most goals so far this season, but it is also one of the teams that has conceded the most goals. Right now, Union is in tenth place in the standings with a record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses.

On this matchday 14, we have a wide range of high-level matches between teams that are playing well. One of these matches is Argentinos Juniors vs. Estudiantes, which will be played this Thursday, August 18, 2022, at the Estadio Búmeran Diego Armando Maradona, home of Argentinos Juniors.
Both teams are in high spirits, as they are coming from winning the last match they played, so we expect a lot of emotions in this match.
Argentinos Juniors broke the negative streak of two consecutive defeats in their last match against Union when they achieved a very important victory with a score of 2-0. Thanks to this victory, Argentinos Juniors climbed to fourth place in the standings and have a current record of 7 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses.
Despite the two complicated weeks they had lately, Argentinos Juniors does not lose the illusion of fighting for first place at the table.
On the other hand, Estudiantes de la Plata must take advantage of the good moment they are currently experiencing, where they have 3 games in a row scoring points, to continue climbing positions in the table and fight for positions in the South American international competitions.
Estudiantes must radically change their approach to the game to find the ideal formula that will lead them to victory and improve their performance for the rest of the season.
Argentinos Juniors vs. Estudiantes Betting Pick: Argentinos Juniors
Primera Argentina Matchday 14: Racing vs. Banfield

Finally, we close this preview of matchday 14 of the LFP with one of the most evenly matched games of this week, Racing vs. Banfield, which will be played this Thursday, August 18, 2022, at Estadio Florencio Sola, home of Banfield.
Although they are in completely different situations, Banfield is a very difficult team to beat at home.
Racing is one of the best teams so far this season in the Superliga Argentina, but, the lack of effectiveness of their strikers and the problems they have had in defense lately, have not allowed them to get better results in the last few weeks.
La Academia comes to this 14th matchday with a very good streak of 9 matches without defeat, but in this journey, they have accumulated 6 draws on the scoreboard, that is to say, they have lost 12 points out of 18 played.
On the other hand, we have Banfield, one of the teams that have shown a very inconsistent level of play so far this season and, because of this, they are ranked #19 in the overall standings, with a record of 3 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses.
El Taladro comes into this match after a painful 3-1 defeat against Platense last matchday.
