Alianza are the heavy favorites at 1.25 to take the win, and given they have won their last two clashes with Comerciantes Unidos, the Alianza Lima vs Comerciantes Unidos prediction suggests backing the hosts seems the way to go.
With home advantage, superior quality and a firepower advantage, the hosts should be able to pick up another win according to our Alianza Lima vs Comerciantes Unidos betting tips.
With an added layer of spice following VAR controversy between the two clubs earlier this year, expect Alianza Lima to be on the attack. Guede’s high-intensity style should provide Comerciantes with plenty of opportunities on the break, and with their top goalscorer Jose Paolo Guerrero scoring 6 of Alianza’s last 10 goals, he looks a good anytime goalscorer bet.
Alan Cantero leads the Alianza Lima scoring charts with 1 goal in 1 appearance in the Liga 1 - Apertura, while Fabio Rojas has been Comerciantes Unidos’ standout performer in the attacking third, providing 1 assist in their season opener. Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.56 looks a promising choice.
