Carlos Mannucci Preview
After the first two matchdays of the tournament were cancelled, Carlos Mannucci debuted against Deportivo Municipal last weekend. However, to the team’s good fortune, it was able to take the three points without breaking a sweat because its rivals did not show up for the match.
Still, the outlook for La Tricolor does not seem to be the best, given that prior to that victory, it had gone seven games in a row without attaining a win, with 2 draws, 5 defeats. Also, the team has failed to win at home in its last five league matches.
Receiving the visit of Sporting Cristal does not bring up good feelings for Carlos Mannucci, as the team lost in its two meetings last season by an aggregate score of 7-1. Also, the team has not been able to defeat such a rival since 2019.
Probable Carlos Manucci lineup (4-2-3-1): Steven Rivadeneyra; Rotceh Aguilar, Leonardo Rugel, Fernando Evangelista, Anthony Quijano; Emiliano Ciucci, Sebastián Jaurena; Jhosep Núñez, Diego Soto, Fernando Pacheco; Luis Ramos.
Sporting Cristal Preview
The 20-time champion of the Peruvian top flight also took advantage of its opponent’s absence, Alianza Lima, to start the tournament with the right foot and take all three points in its first match. This broke a streak of two league defeats suffered in a row.
The team coached by Tiago Nunes had a very good performance during the previous championship, finishing second in the standings, with only one point less than the leader, Alianza Lima. Taking this into account, it is expected that this year it will also be one of the main protagonists of the season.
Playing away from home does not seem to be a challenge of great difficulty for the Celestes.Although the team lost its previous match in that condition, before, it had gone 14 matches in a row without losing away from home, including a big 1-3 win over Carlos Mannucci last July..
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Matías Córdova; Johan Madrid, Gianfranco Chávez, Rafael Lutiger, Nilson Loyola; Jesús Pretell, Jesús Castillo, Yoshimar Yotún; Washington Corozo, Brenner, Írven Ávila.
JefeBet Prediction
Last machday’s three points were a great stroke of luck for both sides, but even more so for Carlos Mannucci and its defense, which has allowed at least two goals in five of its last six league games played in 2022. Also, the team has not had many notable additions to face this tournament, so it is expected to continue to perform similarly.
On the other hand, Sporting Cristal is a historic team, which has very good tools both, the defense and the attack, so we expect it to dominate things in this Carlos Mannucci vs Sporting Cristal match until the end and take a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Asian Handicap of Sporting Cristal (CAR 1-3 SPO).
