Boca Juniors vs Atletico Tucuman: How to watch Liga Argentina matches

Argentine football begins its program for 2021 with the playing of the Copa Liga Profesional.

Boca was crowned 2019-20 league champions in March after coming out on top during the 23-game season, and also triumphed in the following Copa Diego Armando Maradona, which ended in January. 

In lieu of beginning a new league season, the Argentine footballing authorities have instead sanctioned another cup competition, which will run from February to May.

The 26 Primera Division clubs have been split into two groups, with each side playing each other once. 

In addition there will be one inter-zonal game every week, where Boca and River, Racing Club and Independiente and the rest of Argentina's Clasico rivals will face off in a series of clashes. 

The top four teams from each group then advance to a play-off stage, which will take place in a straight knock-out format in order to yield a single winner.

Fanatiz has the rights to the Copa de la Liga Profesional worldwide, excluding Argentina, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Israel, Russia, Sweden and the Balkans.

How to watch Boca Juniors vs Atletico Tucuman

Boca performed a clean sweep in domestic competition over 2020 with league and cup wins, and once more start out as one of the favourites in this new tournament. 

That success, though, was overshadowed by a disappointing exit from the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Santos, extending the club's drought to 14 years. 

The pressure is on to perform at continental level, but Boca, who currently sit outside the play-offs in the Group 2 standings following last week's shock defeat to Union, will also be expected to reach the latter stages of this Copa as a bare minimum. 

After losing club favourite Ricardo Zielinski to Estudiantes in the off-season, Atletico Tucuman endured a poor start to the 2021 Copa. 

Results have picked up as of late, though, with Monday's win over Velez Sarsfield taking the Decano to two victories in their last three outings; while they were unlucky to go down narrowly to River Plate.
