- Sport Boys have won 2 and drawn 1 of their last 3 home matches.
- ADT are winless in their last 2 away head-to-heads and are on a 3-game losing streak.
- ADT are without an away win in any competition in 2026, drawing 2 and losing 2 from 4 trips to date, while conceding 9 goals.
Home advantage could prove decisive
Saturday's Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 clash of Sport Boys vs Asociacion Deportiva Tarma preview looks like a meeting between two opposing footballing philosophies and that could make for an interesting game.
Carlos Desio has his team playing with high-tempo, pressing high and trying to turn the screw early. ADT meanwhile are a much more compact and midfield-heavy unit, with Francisco Usúcar's side looking to sit deep and frustrate their opponents before nicking the odd counter or transition.
The hosts have been in decent form with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 matches, while ADT are in poor form with just 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from their previous 5 games.
Sport Boys vs Asociacion Deportiva Tarma prediction points to Sport Boys as the clear favorites at 1.7, but we feel 4.1 on the visitors and 3.5 on the draw are both too tempting to pass up on, given that ADT have lost their last 3 and the last head-to-head in the Liga 1 - Apertura went their way 1-0.
ADT will be desperate for the win
With a combined 7 wins and 8 defeats from their respective last 10 matches in all competitions, Sport Boys' current form isn't quite enough to justify their betting odds in this one, and our Sport Boys vs Asociacion Deportiva Tarma betting tips lean toward caution.
However, ADT's form is far more troublesome and with Usúcar's team having lost 3 straight, it's hard to side with them against a solid home team in this fixture.
Sport Boys' run of 4-3-3 from their last 10 competitive games is enough to have them in the playoff picture and ready to challenge here, while ADT have managed just 3 wins from the same number of matches.
ADT's away record is particularly problematic as they have yet to win any away game in 2026, drawing 2 and losing 2 from 4 games, while shipping 9 goals.
Home advantage has to be on Sport Boys' side here, but it's not going to be a shootout and that has us leaning towards a narrow home win or draw, as Sport Boys vs Asociacion Deportiva Tarma prediction suggests.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.85 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.78 are both solid bets, but our main selection is for a 1-0 Sport Boys win as they arrive off the back of consecutive 1-0 home wins.
Jeremy Canela has been the most prolific ADT player in the Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 with 1 goal in 1 match.
