Betting on Cusco
Newly promoted Cusco is not having a good time at the start of the Apertura 2023 in Liga 1. After not playing matchday 3 as a protest for television rights, the team coached by Pablo Peirano lost last week against Cienciano by aa score of 0-2.
This leaves them in a complicated situation at the bottom of the standings as only one of the five teams that have yet to score points in the tournament.
The good news is that this weekend they will be playing at home, in front of their fans, who will be excited to see the team back in the First Division. In addition, Cusco finished the Clausura Second Division league season undefeated with 18 points in six games.
Probable formation (4-5-1): Daniel Ferreyra; Josué Estrada, Federico Alonso, Nelinho Quina, Anthony Gordillo; Gerson Barreto, Abdiel Ayarza, Alfredo Ramúa, Felipe Rodríguez, Johnny Vidales; José Fajardo.
Betting on Alianza Atletico
Alianza Atlético is dreaming of getting into continental competition this season, and the start of the Apertura 2023 has them excited. The team coached by Carlos Desio recorded four points in two games, including a very good victory last week at home against a complicated UTC team.
This performance must be maintained this matchday when they travel to a difficult stadium in Cusco, a team that finished undefeated at home in the second division Clausura. In addition, in the previous tournament Alianza Atlético did not have much luck away from home, registering only seven points in nine games and scoring the fewest goals in this condition with only five goals.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Diego Melian; Manuel Gazoza, Angelo Pizzorno, Piero Serra; Miguel Cornejo, Jesus Mendieta, Santiago Arias, Roger Torres; Jeremy Canela, Jose Manzaneda; Nestor Fernandez.
JefeBet Prediction
Alianza Atlético got off to a good start in the Apertura tournament, but their next match will be no easy task when they visit the altitude of Cusco. The newly promoted team knows very well how to take advantage of its home condition, which is why it was able to take all the possible points at home during last campaign in the second division.
In fact, in four of the five matches that these two teams have played in Cusco, the home team has come out on top. The last of them during the Clausura 2021 when Cusco won 3-0.
Prediction: Cusco to win (CUS 2 – ALI 1).
