- UT Cajamarca have won three, drawn one and lost three of their seven home matches in the Liga 1 - Apertura 2025.
- Sport Boys have won one, drawn two and lost four of their opening seven away matches in the same competition.
- The visitors have conceded 14 goals in seven away fixtures, an average of 2.00 per game in the Apertura 2025.
Two similar clubs meet in mid-table battle
UT de Cajamarca and Sport Boys are direct rivals in the standings for the Liga 1 - Apertura 2025.
UT de Cajamarca (14th, 17pts from 15 games) are one place and two points behind Sport Boys (11th, 19pts from 15 games) heading into this weekend’s fixture.
The teams have had similar results in their last five matches with two wins and three defeats apiece, but in their last two matches, the hosts won 1-2 away to Alianza Universidad and lost 0-2 at home to Atletico Grau.
Arturo Reyes has implemented a more expansive, high-pressing game with the visitors since his appointment in late May 2025, instilling a tempo and style that is more on the offensive and proactive.
This will clash with Pablo Bossi’s more pragmatic and organised game plan, which has been based on solidity in defence and a measured build-up in the midfield since he took charge in late February 2025.
Both teams to score a good alternative to moneyline
The contrasting tactical approaches could make for an interesting contest with the transition battles likely to decide the outcome, but the goals could also flow with both teams open in attack but vulnerable in defence.
Alejandro Hohberg is the top scorer for Sport Boys with nine goals in 15 Liga 1 – Apertura matches, but Erinson Ramirez has notched three in UT Cajamarca's last five games and should be a contender for the goals in this game.
Our prediction is for a home win at 2.15, with a draw priced at 3.27 and Sport at 3.70, but it could be a close game as the last three head-to-head meetings have seen a win for Sport Boys and two draws.
The 1-1 draw was the score when they last met in the Clausura 2024 at Sport’s home and UT Cajamarca are winless in the two previous home meetings.
