Betting on Alianza Lima
Talking about Alianza Lima in the 2023 Liga 1 is talking about one of the most dominant years so far. In all their lines, the blue and white team has been showing the best of their repertoire. Whether they play well or without a neat scheme, Guillermo Salas’ team has a streak of seven victories in a row, with the last one being a 2-0 win against Universidad Cesar Vallejo last Thursday.
With their latest triumph, Alianza Lima have become more of a leader than ever in the Peruvian championship standings, with 33 points and a 5-point lead over their main rival, Universitario. What seemed like a difficult task, due to the resting date, is now a completely different scenario.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Franco Saravia; Gino Peruzzi, Carlos Zambrano, Santiago García, Ricardo Lagos; Josepmir Ballón, Jairo Concha, Gabriel Costa, Andrés Andrade, Christian Cueva; Pablo Sabbag.
Betting on Deportivo Municipal
On the other hand, Deportivo Municipal is not having their best days. The edil team comes into this upcoming match after suffering a 1-0 defeat in their visit to Cusco FC last Friday.
The defeat in the imperial city left the academy in 9th place in the Liga 1 table with 18 points, causing uncertainty among the team led by Angel Comizzo regarding their participation in the domestic competition.
Moreover, during the week, a video was published on social media by the Peruvian Footballers Association, where players denounced non-payment of two months’ salaries, which upset many fans of the team.
To make things even more difficult, there have been strong rumors about the possible departure of Fernando Pacheco, who has been one of the great figures of the team. He is reportedly negotiating a return to Sporting Cristal for the Clausura phase, making things even more challenging for Deportivo Municipal.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Steven Rivadeneyra; Rotceh Aguilar, Williams Guzmán, Fernando Evangelista, Francesco Cavagna; Augusto Solís, Matías Pérez García, Kevin Peña; Diego Soto, Jhosep Nuñéz, Christopher Olivares.
JefeBet Prediction
With their unstoppable momentum, the white and blue team are the clear favorites to take home the win. And with Municipal’s institutional crisis seeping into their athletic performance, their odds of winning are looking grim.
Let’s talk numbers. The Intimos have a remarkable +16 goal difference compared to Municipal’s measly -1. That’s a huge advantage, and a great opportunity for us to place our bets.
Prediction: Alianza Lima Moneyline (ALI 3-0 MUN)
