The emotions of the Primera Argentina continue. Then, after the 10th matchday of the current season, we arrive at a new weekend of games where we will have important and decisive matches.
Atlético Tucuman continues to demonstrate that it is at an extraordinary level of play. This time, after extending its winning streak to 5 consecutive victories. Also, the most important point to highlight in these victories is that they have not conceded a single goal; that is to say, Atlético Tucuman has not conceded any goals in July.
They are followed by Argentinos Juniors who, after the draw on the last matchday, were left with the bad taste in their mouth of not being able to be at the top of the standings. Racing, Gimnasia, and Unión won their respective matches and are only 2 points behind second place and 4 points behind first place.
One of the debacles we are witnessing this season; in addition to the bad moment that River and Boca are living; is the one by Newell’s. After leading the championship for several weeks, now accumulated 5 consecutive matches without knowing the victory. Also, being defeated the last two played and, due to this, they have fallen to ninth place.
The following is an analysis of some of the most important matches of this 11th day of the Argentinean tournament.

We begin with a match that we are sure will give a lot to talk about. We have two teams that urgently need to get victories to get out of the bad moment they are in and start climbing positions in the general classification table. Estudiantes will host Banfield next Saturday, July 30, 2022, at the Jorge Luis Hischi Stadium.
El Pincha has had an extremely irregular start to the season. They have not been able to find the ideal formula that will lead them to victory; therefore, they are located in the middle-low zone of the standings.
Estudiantes has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, with 11 points out of a possible 30. Despite this bad moment they are living, Estudiantes knows that the season is still in its early stages and many other teams are in similar situations; so if they manage to win some consecutive games, they could climb many important positions on the table.
On the other hand, Banfield started the season very well and had the confidence to fight for the top positions. However, in the last few weeks, their performance has declined so much that they are now in 15th place with 13 points, only 3 points away from ninth place.
Banfield arrives this matchday 11 with 4 consecutive games without a win, where they have accumulated 2 draws and 2 defeats.

The team coached by Fernando Gago, Racing, will seek to continue the good momentum they are currently experiencing when they host Tigre this Sunday, July 31, 2022, at the Estadio Presidente Perón, in the match corresponding to the 11th round of the Superliga Argentina.
Even though in the last weeks they have missed the victory in three opportunities, achieving draws in the scores, Racing is living a very good season, and they want to extend their good streak of matches without defeat at home against an accessible team like Tigre.
Racing is the team with the best goal difference at this point of the season with +8, coming from 16 goals scored and only 8 conceded in the 10 games played. This statistic is proof of the high level of play that la Academia has been demonstrating.
Racing is coming from an excellent victory in its last match against Central Córdoba with a score of 3-1, thanks to goals from Enzo Copetti (x2) and Carlos Alcaraz. They are currently in third place in the standings with 18 points out of a possible 30.

On the other hand, we have Tigre, another team that has not had a consistent performance so far this season, and that is why they are located in the middle of the standings.
Tigre needs to take advantage of the confidence and spirit with which they arrive at this match after an extraordinary victory in the local classic against Platense, with a score of 3-0 thanks to goals by Victor Cabrera, Lucas Menossi, and Facundo Colidio.
After this crushing victory, Tigre climbed to position #18 in the general classification table and has a record of 3 wins, 3 ties, and 4 defeats, with a total of 12 points out of a possible 30.

One of the evenest matches that we can enjoy in this 11th round of the Superliga Argentina will be, without any doubt, this one between Boca Juniors and Patronato, which will be played next Sunday, July 31, 2022, at the Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella, home of Patronato.
There is a big doubt about this match, since, after the events that happened last day in the match between Patronato and Barracas Central, where there were controversies after wrong decisions by the main referee and the VAR, the prosecutor’s office ordered the arrest of four Patronato players, Matías Pardo, Axel Rodríguez, Juan Barinaga, Justo Giani, so, we do not know how this could affect the team for this important match.
Now, Boca Juniors knows it owes a debt to its history and its fans after this terrible start. Currently, Boca is ranked #11 in the overall standings, with a poor record of 5 wins and 5 losses, with 15 accumulated points.
Boca Juniors has one of the best offenses in the tournament, but, one of the worst defenses as well, as they have the same number of goals scored and conceded with 16.
Boca is coming from a great victory against Estudiantes at La Bombonera, with a score of 3-1.

On the other hand, Patronato had a very controversial and complicated match against Barracas Central this week, as, the wrong decisions of the referee and the VAR made the situation get out of control and several players were even taken away by the local police.
Patronato came to this match with a lot of illusion after two consecutive victories, but the defeat with a score of 2-1 was very bad for them and made them drop to 12th place in the standings.
Boca Juniors vs. Patronato Betting Pick: Boca Juniors
Primera Argentina Matchday 11: River Plate vs. Sarmiento
When: Sunday, July 31 at 07:30 pm ET
Moneyline odds: River Plate -303 / Sarmiento +780 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Draw Offs: +390

Finally, we close this preview of the 11th matchday of the Superliga Argentina with one of the most disparate matches that we will have this day. River Plate receives Sarmiento this Sunday, July 31, 2022, at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, at 07:30 pm ET.
With completely different realities, taking into account that River Plate is coming from winning their second consecutive match, it seems that they have managed to get that formula that will take them on the path to victory, while Sarmiento has lost 3 of their last 4 matches.
River seems to have woken up and with these two wins in a row, they have managed to place themselves in tenth place in the standings with 15 points, only 3 points behind third place. This is how tight the Argentine national championship is.
While Sarmiento continues to sink due to their poor performance shown in these first 10 rounds of the 2022 LFP season. Although they are not in the ditch of the standings, Sarmiento has not played the best way and, it is expected that they will continue to lose positions in the following rounds.
Sarmiento has just lost its second consecutive game at home against Colón, with a score of 1-3.
River Plate vs. Sarmiento Betting Pick: River Plate
