Predictions & Betting Tips

Visitors in the driver’s seat

Cusco FC are in good form heading into Saturday’s game against Comerciantes Unidos, with a record of three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five league matches putting them in a comfortable seventh place in the Liga 1 – Apertura 2025 table with 20 points from 12 games. Their most recent two games have seen them beat Deportivo Garcilaso 3-1 on the road, before playing out a 3-3 draw at home to Los Chankas, showing the dual sides of their tactical approach. Our Comerciantes Unidos vs Cusco FC preview highlights how both teams have displayed contrasting strengths in recent fixtures. Miguel Rondelli has done an excellent job since taking charge in November 2023, blending defence and fluid counterattack, although they will need to tighten up at the back if they are to push for the top of the table positions in the near future.

Hosts struggling for form

Javier Arce took over as Comerciantes Unidos manager on the 19th April 2025 and has had little time to rectify the defensive deficiencies that are costing them in the bottom half of the Liga 1 standings. Comerciantes Unidos are currently 17th in the Apertura 2025 table after taking just eight points from their opening 11 matches and have yet to win on their home turf this season, drawing four and losing one of five games. Their most recently played games have been a 1-1 draw at home to Binacional and a 2-0 loss away to CD UT Cajamarca, so this Comerciantes Unidos vs Cusco FC prediction shows the hosts may have been able to find some defensive resolve in the last week or so, but they are struggling to score goals.

Callejo is Cusco’s danger man

Facundo Callejo is currently the most in form player in the entire Liga 1, netting 9 times in his 11 appearances so far, including 6 in the most recent five games. Comerciantes striker Matias Sen has 5 goals in 11 games and has been the only reliable source of goals for the hosts. With that in mind, the Comerciantes Unidos vs Cusco FC prediction is that Cusco FC will edge a close game against a Comerciantes side that is still looking for a spark to get them up the table. The visitors have a slight advantage at +122 compared to Comerciantes’ +230, so our Comerciantes Unidos vs Cusco FC betting tips suggest it should be a close contest, but there’s an opportunity in the Both Teams to Score market, given Cusco’s attacking prowess and Comerciantes’ struggles at the home ground.
