The matchday 20 of the Primera Argentina is about to start and we can already analyze the leaderboard trying to identify the position changes that can happen after the games on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
After some time approaching the top positions, Boca Juniors finally stole the top spot from Atlético Tucumán and added even more excitement to the competition. The Xeneizes won five straight matches in the league, while Tucumán drew their last two, yielding the lead to Boca, the most traditional team in Argentina.
Huracán, despite not being in its best phase – they drew the last two matches -, remains in third with 33 points, followed by Gimnasia, with the same score. Godoy Cruz and Racing complete the list of the six best clubs in the league, while the super champion River Plate appears only in 8th, with 29 points.
Lanús, Aldosivi, Talleres, and Vélez are the 4 worst teams in the tournament, while Defensa y Justicia, which finished in second place last season, is only in 23rd place.
Let’s get to know the most important games of round 20 of the LPF.

Boca Juniors will host third-placed Huracán at the Bombonera, in a match that could change the top positions again, as only two points separate the two teams.
The home team, and leader of the competition, arrive for this confrontation after winning five straight matches, stealing first place from Atlético Tucuman, which was at the top since the beginning of the competition.
Huracán has also gone 5 games without losing but has won only 2 of those 5 games. Facing Boca Júniors, at home, will be a great challenge for the third-placed team. Huracán has one of the best defenses in the competition and will face an opponent who wins, but doesn’t score many goals. This will be a very balanced game.
Our best pick for this match is a 1-1 draw.

Atlético Tucumán, second, will have a very complicated challenge next Monday. They will face Argentinos Juniors, who won the last match against Rosario Central (2-1) and is in seventh place. In addition, the difference between Tucumán and the visiting team is only 4 points, which would make El Decano’s defeat even more worrying.
Many bookmakers have pointed out the favoritism of the hosts in this match and we also believe in this analysis.
Our best pick is a 2-1 win for Argentinos Juniors.

Two traditional teams of Argentine football will face each other on Sunday afternoon for the twentieth round of the national league. River Plate, eighth place, comes from two consecutive defeats and will need to show something different to beat its rival at home.
San Lorenzo has drawn the last four matches in a row for the league and seems to be having problems in its attack to define the matches in its favor.
Due to the balance of the match and the size of the two teams, we believe in a draw.
Our pick is a 1-1 draw.
