Los Chankas are the most organised side in the Andahuaylas Valley
Los Chankas CYC have been the best organized side in the Andahuaylas region since Walter Paolella took over on 19 June 2025, and the Los Chankas CYC vs Sport Boys preview suggests a disciplined home performance. Paolella has been very disciplined in setting up his teams in a 4-2-3-1, which then adjusts to a compact 3-5-2 or low block when they are defending.
Paolella's men will want to keep the ball in front of Sport Boys when they can and try to turn the game into a battle of transition. Their most clinical finisher in recent matches has been Jarlin Quintero with two of their four goals in the last five, so he will be a threat if this turns into a transition battle.
The hosts arrive in better form than Sport Boys with five wins, two draws and three losses in their last ten in all competitions. That isn't the best form in the Clausura 2026, but it should be sufficient to see the home side through this game.
Sport Boys will try to keep things tight with a compact shape
Carlos Desio has been in charge of Sport Boys since 17 March 2026, as Paolella has led Los Chankas CYC since 19 June 2025. Desio's blueprint is more vertical and aggressive than the home team, with his side playing a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with lots of pressing and high tempo to force turnovers.
But Desio's team are not as cohesive as Los Chankas, so they are more likely to give away goals if they push too far. A 1-0 win over Comerciantes Unidos in a recent match will have been a step in the right direction for them, but a 0-0 draw in their most recent away trip to Universidad Tecnica de Cajamarca reminds us that this will be a tight contest.
The recent head-to-head record is pretty even, with Los Chankas having two wins in the last five meetings, Sport Boys one and two draws. Sport Boys have four wins, three draws and three defeats in their last ten in all competitions, so they arrive competitive, but hardly in a position to dominate Los Chankas.
Likely to be a close match
Los Chankas CYC are a disciplined and organised side that use the altitude of Andahuaylas to their advantage. Sport Boys are a good team, and the Los Chankas CYC vs Sport Boys prediction still points to a narrow home win.
The odds reflect the form and home advantage, but this doesn't feel like a game for a blowout for the hosts, although they will edge it. Our Los Chankas CYC vs Sport Boys betting tips lean toward Under 2.5 goals at 1.71 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.81, while the Los Chankas CYC vs Sport Boys prediction remains that the hosts should just get the job done.
