The Argentine League continues its course and it will be back this weekend following a midweek fixture. Boca Juniors will visit Atletico Tucuman today, Sept. 18, on Matchday 12 of the 2021 Liga Profesional. Here, take a look at the match preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch it in the US.
The hosts went winless in their last two games. Omar De Felippe's side has struggled to get results, although it managed to pull off a shock against Independiente a few weeks ago.
The Xeneize, on the other hand, head into this clash riding on a five-game unbeaten run, all of those matches under interim coach and club legend Sebastian Battaglia. Boca didn't have a good start to the tournament but they began to pick up results since Miguel Angel Russo left.
