Huancayo hoping to maintain home advantage over J.P. II College
Sport Huancayo will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in home games when they face Juan Pablo II College in Liga 1 - Apertura on Sunday. This Sport Huancayo vs Juan Pablo II College preview highlights that Los Rojiblancos sit 16th in the table after collecting 12 points from 13 games thus far in 2026, while their visitors are placed 14th with 15 points - just three more than their hosts.
Huancayo boss Richard Pellejero returned to the club late in March 2026 and has reinforced their compact, disciplined approach. Los Rojiblancos have won three, drawn one, and lost two of their six home league matches this season, scoring an average of 1.33 and conceding an average of 1.00.
Pellejero’s side is a typically well-organised 4-2-3-1 unit that prioritises maintaining defensive order, midfield density and balance during transitions over the relentless pressing of opponents. The Sport Huancayo vs Juan Pablo II College prediction highlights that Huancayo have produced a mixed bag of results across their last five league games (W1, D2, L2) however, and the hosts will need to put their best foot forward to see off Juan Pablo II on Sunday.
Franco Caballero has found the net three times in Huancayo’s last seven league matches, but Yorleys Mena Palacios is their top scorer this season with five goals in 13 Liga 1 - Apertura appearances. The Colombian forward is always a threat in the box, but Huancayo will need more than his goal to clinch the win against J.P. II according to our Sport Huancayo vs Juan Pablo II College prediction.
Juan Pablo II College can make their mark at the Estadio Huancayo
Marcelo Zuleta has been in charge of Juan Pablo II College since December 2025 and his teams are always creative and seek the initiative, even if they have to adapt shape and personnel to do so. Christian Cueva provides the visitors with a spark of creativity and inventiveness, but Martin Alaniz has provided the firepower up front, netting three goals in 11 league games this term.
Juan Pablo II College have posted a similarly inconsistent run of results to Huancayo across their last five (W1, D2, L2), and like their hosts, they will go into this game with nothing to lose. However, the Sport Huancayo vs Juan Pablo II College prediction suggests Los Celestes are no strangers to entertaining games, and Zuleta’s side have shipped an alarming average of 2.50 goals in their six away league fixtures this year.
The head-to-head record between the two sides and Huancayo’s superior home performance in 2026 suggests that Pellejero’s team should have the upper hand in what promises to be a tough and competitive clash. The Sport Huancayo vs Juan Pablo II College betting tips support the 1.51 odds for a Huancayo win, but we’re going to back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at smaller stakes for this clash, with the visitors likely to score and Huancayo’s forward play improving of late.
Over 2.5 goals is 1.75, Both Teams to Score - Yes is 1.93.
