Betting on Carlos Mannucci
The home team has seven points out of a possible nine, the result of a draw (1-1 against Sporting Cristal) and two wins (3-0 against Deportivo Municipal and 1-0 against Sport Boys).
Against Sport Boys, the Carlos Mannucci goal was scored by Raziel García, one of the team’s new signings for this year, in the 37th minute of the first half of the match. Federico González, Manucci’s Argentine striker, said after the match:
I am very happy for the way in which we have started the tournament and we have high expectations for this match against Universitario, knowing that we have been improving week after week.
Probable lineup (4-2-2-2): Manuel Heredia; Erick Cruzado, Maximiliano Amondarain, Matías Cortave and Alexis Cossio; Erick Aponte and Carlos Correa; Alexander Lecaros and Raziel García; Federico González and Matías Succar.
Betting on Universitario
Universitario de Deportes is going through a complicated week after suffering two defeats in a row. The first was a 0-1 away loss against Unión Comercio, and the second was a 1-2 away loss against Alianza Lima in a derby match at home.
For this reason, it was not just another defeat, and the poor performances of some star players, who are consistently expected to excel in these types of games, were especially worrying. For example, Alex Valera, Universitario’s goal scorer, who was unable to play well against Alianza Lima and has never been able to score against them while wearing the U‘s jersey.
While there were multiple yellow cards shown, none of the players will be suspended for the next game against Carlos Manucci. However, the team’s coach, Argentine Carlos Compagnucci, will have to deal with the reality of watching from the stands as he was sent off towards the end of the derby game.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): José Carvallo; Hugo Ancajima, Piero Guzmán, Matías Di Benedetto and Nelson Cabanillas; Horacio Calcaterra and Rodrigo Ureña; Andy Polo, Martín Pérez Guedes and José Rivera; and Alex Valera.
JefeBet Prediction
When a team’s morale is high, it can set any goal for itself. That seems t be the case for a Carlos Mannucci team that, after starting with three points without playing (Deportivo Municipal was a no-show), has picked up a pace and has not lost so far.
That is why at JefeBet we believe that, despite facing a Peruvian giant, the three points will stay at home.
Prediction: Carlos A. Mannucci wins 1-0.
