Sporting styles will clash
Pablo Guede has been using a versatile 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system this term, one that is very adaptable. Alianza Lima press well as a unit and are quick in transition, they have the pace and power to create space out wide but they'll need to keep a lid on the game in the latter stages if they win on Monday.
Richard Pellejero has Huancayo set up in a compact and pragmatic shape. They're happy to sit back and be organized, before hitting on the break. They need to be smart and make the most of their chances, as Piero Magallanes is their main spark and the attacker has scored 3 of Huancayo's 7 goals in their last 5 fixtures. For punters, Alianza Lima vs Sport Huancayo betting tips point toward the home side having the edge in what could still be a controlled contest.
Alianza are on a mission
If the two teams show up as they have done in their most recent outings then the matchup should heavily favour the hosts. Alianza Lima vs Sport Huancayo prediction suggests Alianza play at a tempo that Huancayo will struggle to match and they have the width to stretch play and the energy to press their opponents into mistakes.
Huancayo will do well to keep this within a single goal deficit, let alone threaten to win it. Alianza's last 2 results saw them win 3-0 at home to Los Chankas CYC and then draw 1-1 away to FC Cajamarca, and both were solid results against decent opponents.
Sport Huancayo's last 3 matches saw them lose 4-1 away to FBC Melgar, draw 2-2 at home to Cienciano and then lose 2-1 away to Universitario. So their form looks a little rocky and Alianza should edge this on recent form, home dominance and recent head-to-head record.
The point spreads are tight here but a home win is the selection. Under 2.5 goals is also priced at 1.97 and both teams to score at 1.99. 1-0 or 2-0 is the type of result you want to see Alianza Lima record if they keep the game on their terms. Another Alianza Lima vs Sport Huancayo prediction is that the hosts can control the pace and avoid a chaotic finish.
