Betting on Club Sporting Cristal
If there’s one thing that frustrated Sporting Cristal in matchday 10, it was the fact that the team drew 1-1 against Deportivo Municipal. It wasn’t just about adding a third consecutive victory for Tiago Nunes’ team, but also to ease some tensions during the break it had in the past weekend.
And to make matters worse, Sporting Cristal won’t have Jesús Castillo for this matchday. The young midfielder was sent off during the Municipal game and will have to serve a suspension.
It’s worth noting that Cristal is also feeling the blow after its debut in the 2023 Copa Libertadores. The Celeste suffered a painful 3-1 defeat against Brazil’s Fluminense at home. Moreover, after this upcoming match against Sport Boys, the team will have to travel to Argentina for another demanding match against none other than River Plate.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Renato Solís; Jhilmar Lora, Ignácio Da Silva, Gianfranco Chávez, Nilson Loyola; Jesús Pretell, Yoshimar Yotún, Leandro Sosa; Alejandro Hohberg, Joao Grimaldo, Brenner Marlos.
Betting on Sport Boys
Meanwhile, Sport Boys is going through a nightmare moment in the Liga 1, as the team is suffering from a tough streak of three consecutive defeats. The latest of these falls occurred last Saturday, in front of its home crowd, against Deportivo Municipal, with a final score of 2-0.
This alarming losing streak has placed Guillermo Sanguinetti’s team in the sixteenth position of the Peruvian Liga 1 standings, with a mere seven points. Only one place away from the relegation zone, Sport Boys, the team from Callao, urgently needs to break its curse and win against one of the favorites, not only for the victory, but also for the national title.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Álvaro Villete; Rodrigo Cuba, Oliver Benítez, Werner Schuler, Cristian Carbajal; Josimar Atoche, Juan Morales, Marcio Valverde; Edinson Mero, Luis Enrique Carranza, Walberto Caicedo.
JefeBet Prediction
Sporting Cristal has had some setbacks in the last stretch, but it is still the only undefeated team so far in the Liga 1. Moreover, the team is facing an opponent that has been showing vulnerability in every match lately.
Not only are they far apart in the standings, but the goal difference between both clubs is significant, as Sporting Cristal has a +7 differential compared to the -8 presented by the team from Callao. That’s why, at JefeBet, we predict a win for the home team in the upcoming Sporting Cristal vs Sport Boys thrilling encounter.
Prediction: Sporting Cristal Moneyline (CRI 3-0 SBO).
