This match will take place after almost two months, as the Peruvian Football Federation decided to take advantage of the FIFA Date to hold what would correspond to matchday 1 of the Peruvian tournament.

Betting on Atletico Grau
Atlético Grau, which started with good results, today seems to be drifting away. The Albo has not won since February 11, when it won 4-2 against Binacional. Ever since then, the Piura-based team has recorded two draws and an equal number of defeats. The last one of these defeats occurred last Saturday, when Daniel Ahmed’s team was defeated 2-1 in its last visit to Sporting Cristal.
This setback caused Grau to close matchday 9 in 12th place in the Liga 1 standings. In fact, 12th place is very distant from the first places, so the northern team will have the obligation to get a win against one of the strong candidates to win the title. If the team suffers another loss, it could start affecting the rest of its campaign.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Raúl Fernández; Manuel Tejada, Eduardo Caballero, Daniel Franco, Elsar Rodas; Luis Enrique Álvarez, Piero Vivanco, Oslimg Mora, Neri Bandiera; Fernando Márquez.
Betting on Alianza Lima
Alianza Lima is on a mission to make amends for the mistake that prevented the team from taking the lead in the standings last matchday: the 2-1 loss to Sport Huancayo last Sunday.
What made matters worse on that fateful day was that, not only was Guillermo Salas’ side unable to reach the top of the Peruvian championship, but it also dropped to fifth place in the standings, 12 points and one unit behind the leaders, Deportivo Garcilaso and Universidad César Vallejo.
The fall was demoralizing to the Alianza fanbase. The defeat against Huancayo was also the first official disappointment of 2023, after a good run of victories at the start of the championship.
Despite that, the team from La Victoria still has some hope, and for this match, it will recover fullback Gino Peruzzi, who was absent due to a muscle strain.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Franco Saravia; Gino Peruzzi, Yordi Vílchez, Santiago García, Ricardo Lagos; Josepmir Ballón, Jesús Castillo, Andrés Andrade; Pablo Lavandeira, Gabriel Costa, Pablo Sabbag.
JefeBet Prediction
The Atletico Grau vs Alianza Lima match has the statistic leaning in favor of the visiting team in terms of position in the championship. Despite this, the two clubs are evenly matched in terms of goal difference. So, despite the bad start of the Albos team and the good start of the Blanquiazules, both clubs have the same level of offensive efficiency.
Moreover, Alianza has already been known for giving life to teams that were struggling in the championship. The Intimo fanbase hopes that what happened in Huancayo will not be repeated against Grau. However, at JefeBet we believe that the visiting team will take all three points.
Prediction: Moneyline of Alianza Lima (ATG 0-2 ALI).
