The LFP is entering its definitive stage. After finishing an intense round 20 leaving Atlético Tucumán as absolute leaders after the unexpected defeat suffered by Gimnasia, we arrive at a new weekend, which we are sure will be full of many emotions in this intense battle to be the first place and, consequently, the champions of the tournament.
Boca Juniors had the opportunity to climb to the top of the standings on the previous matchday, but could not manage a victory and remained in third place in the table, equal with 36 points with Gimnasia.
River Plate, which broke the streak of two consecutive defeats and moved only 4 points away from second place, came back to the top of the table. As well as Racing Club, who with 3 wins in their last 4 games have returned to the fight for the top positions.
Meanwhile, as regards the annual ranking table, which is in charge of qualifying teams for international competitions in 2023, we have Racing Club (65), Boca Juniors (63), River Plate (61), and Gimnasia (60). In the Copa Sudamericana zone, we have Estudiantes (55), Argentinos (55), Huracán (52), Newell’s (52), Defensa y Justicia (50), and Atlético Tucumán (49).

With the mission of keeping first place in the general classification table, Atlético Tucuman will host Estudiantes at the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro this Sunday, September 25, 2022, at 07:30 pm ET.
With 7 rounds left to play, Atlético Tucuman depends on itself and its results to be the champion of this tournament, as it has 2 points of difference concerning its main pursuers, Gimnasia and Boca Juniors.
El Decano faces this new round with a very good record of 10 wins, 8 draws, and only 2 defeats and, although it has not obtained the desired results in recent weeks, it continues to add up in each round and, that is why it is still at the top of the standings.
Atlético Tucuman comes from cutting a streak of 4 consecutive draws against Argentinos Juniors, with a score of 2-1.

On the other hand, we have Estudiantes de la Plata, another team that has had a very irregular season, not being able to have a prolonged winning streak and, that is why it is located in 14th place in the table, with a record of 7 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.
El Pincha has had a hard time scoring goals in the last few weeks, and it has managed to score only 6 goals in their last 9 games played.
Estudiantes is coming from a terrible defeat against Defensa y Justicia with a score of 1-2.
That is why, for this match, our winner’s chip is for Atlético Tucuman and, our prediction is a score of 1-0.
Estudiantes vs. Atlético Tucumán Betting Pick: Atlético Tucumán

One of the best matches we will have in this 21st round of the Primera Argentina will undoubtedly be the one between Boca Juniors and Godoy Cruz next Friday, September 23, 2022, at the Feliciano Gambarte Stadium, home of Godoy Cruz.
Boca Juniors arrives on this 21st matchday being one of the best teams in the league, after signing a spectacular streak of 10 consecutive matches without defeat. That is why they have managed to climb to the top of the standings and thus equal 36 points to Gimnasia in second place.
Despite the great moment Boca Juniors is living, the matches it has won have not been easy, since in none of them it has managed to win by a difference of more than 2 goals. In its last game, Boca drew 0-0 against Huracán.
One point to note for this match is that Boca Juniors has doubts about the participation of Darío Benedetto, Nicolás Figal, and Marcos Rojo, who are on medical leave for the time being. This creates problems to set up the defense for this matchday 21.
–
On the other hand, we have Godoy Cruz, a team whose performance has dropped so much in the last few matchdays that, after fighting in the upper part of the table for the top positions, it has now fallen to seventh place in the table, after 2 defeats and 1 draw in their last 3 matches.
El Tomba comes from being crushed by Barracas Central in its last match with a score of 1-3 and, this match against Boca is fundamental for its aspirations in this tournament. They are direct rivals that are only separated by 4 points in the table.
For this match, we believe that neither team will be able to hurt the other and that is why our selection is a 0-0 draw on the scoreboard.
Boca Juniors vs Godoy Cruz Betting Pick: Draw

Another great match that we will have in this 21st round of the LFP will be the one between Gimnasia and Tigre next Sunday, September 25 at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium, home of Gimnasia at 2:30 pm ET.
This match is fundamental for the aspirations of both teams to achieve their respective goals this season.
Gimnasia needs 3 points in each of its remaining 7 games to prevent Tucumán from escaping at the top of the table and Boca Juniors from overtaking it. While Tigre, on an important winning streak, can fight for first place in the table.
El Lobo comes from an unexpected defeat against Central Córdoba, which made it lose first place in the general classification table after Atlético Tucumán did its homework and, got its respective victory.
Gimnasia is still in the fight for the champion’s trophy of this tournament. However, now they do not depend on themselves to achieve it, so, they have to play 7 perfect matchdays and link a slip of Tucumán to be champions.
–
On the other hand, Tigre knows that it can have a dream end to the season, fighting for first place at the table. To do so, like Gimnasia, they must win as many games as possible, as they are currently in 12th place in the table, 9 points behind second place.
Tigre comes to this match after a very good victory against Vélez, with a score of 2-0.
Although Gimnasia is playing at a very high level, we believe that this match will be very complex for both teams, and that is why our selection is a 1-1 final score draw.
