Betting on Cienciano
Cienciano is currently in 9th place with 21 points, which puts the team 15 points behind the leader Alianza Lima. So far, the team has achieved six wins, reached three draws, and suffered six defeats, scoring 20 goals while conceding 23.
The team is coming off a tough 4-0 loss against Atlético Grau, which is in 10th place with 19 points. On that match, nothing seemed to go Cienciano’s way, as it only had 37% of the ball possession, attempted 7 shots on goal, and only 3 were on target.
Despite committing fewer fouls than its opponent (11 vs 19), the team received more yellow cards (3 vs 2) and had Ayrthon Azalde sent off.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Miguel Ángel Vargas; Luis Garro, Koichi Aparicio, Carlos Javier Beltrán and Iván Santillán; Gonzalo González; Juan Romagnoli, Kevin Sandoval; Neil Marcos and Alberto Quintero Medina; Carlos Garcés Acosta.
Betting on Municipal
Municipal is currently in 13th place with 18 points and has lost the last three out of five matches it has played. So far and in 15 matches played, this team has recorded five wins, three draws, and seven defeats, scoring 16 goals and conceding 19.
Last weekend, the team lost 1-2 at home against Sport Huancayo (currently 6th with 24 points) in a fairly even match in terms of ball possession. This team had less of the ball possession, with 49%. It attempted more shots on goal, 15 vs 12, but it was accurate in fewer of those shots, 4 vs 5.
Perhaps the most concerning thing is that the team was not able to hold on to the lead it had achieved in the 14th minute, when right-back, Rotceh Aguilar, scored the opening goal.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Carlos Solís; Rotceh Aguilar, Leonardo Rugel, Fernando Evangelista and Jair Céspedes; Augusto Solís and Matías Pérez García; Diego Soto, Kevin Quintana and Fernando Rivas; and Christopher Olivares.
JefeBet Prediction
This Cienciano vs Municipal match will be closely disputed, and one in which Municipal’s bad streak will probably work against it. That is why, at JefeBet, we believe that the team from Cusco will come out on top and get the three points.
Prediction: Cienciano to win (CIE 2 – MUN 0).
