Direct Cajamarca will try to expose Alianza Atletico
This Alianza Atletico vs FC Cajamarca preview highlights the clash of styles between an intelligent Alianza Atletico team and a direct and physical Cajamarca, which should be interesting with Celso Ayala’s men on the rise since his appointment in March 2026. The Cajamarquino coach has taken the reins of a side that looked dead and buried in 2026, and has helped them pick up three consecutive wins in an impressive resurgence.
A 3-1 home win against Sporting Cristal was the highlight of Cajamarca’s recent streak, but they also managed to beat fellow strugglers CD UT Cajamarca 2-1 on the road. Barcos has been the focal point in a pragmatic system, while Ayala has increased the tempo of the ball in vertical attacks.
Barcos is Cajamarca’s highest goal scorer with 8 in the league. Brandon Palacios has been in good form with 3 in 5 for the visitors.
A high-scoring affair is expected, but Cajamarca’s lack of goals on the road (0.75 per game in 8 away) - with only 6 scored - suggests they won’t trouble the scorers as much as they would like, which is another reason behind our Alianza Atletico vs FC Cajamarca prediction.
