It is the only place in the Bible where Jesus calls God 'God', everywhere esle, He calls God 'Father'; so we know it must be special. Also, Psalm 22:1 start with: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and we read in 1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. so it's probably not a coincidence.
In that psalm, there are also some foretelling about the crucifixion, like the fact that not one of His bones were broken (John 19:36) although it was customary to break the legs of people being cruxified, or how the soldiers divided his garments (John 19:23-24)
I can count all my bones— they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. - Psalm 22:17-18 (ESV)
