Betting on Alianza Lima (+120 at Codere)

After achieving the long-awaited back-to-back championship, Guillermo Salas’ team is going through a critical moment that strangely finds them in seventh place in the standings and their coach on the brink of being fired. With seven points, they are three points behind the leaders, Melgar, Sporting Cristal, and coincidentally, Universitario.

This match is crucial for the Blanquiazules‘ aspirations, especially since they won’t be able to count on several of their key players (Santiago García, Gino Peruzzi, Pablo Sabbag, Gabriel Costa, and Yordy Vílchez) as we wait for updates on the last two.

Alianza Lima recently suffered an unexpected setback at the hands of Sport Boys, losing by a narrow margin. This, coupled with a goalless draw against Sporting Cristal, knocked them off the top spot in the Liga 1 in just one week. The hosts seem to have been greatly affected by their elimination from the Copa Libertadores by Athletico Paranaense, and this classic match is the perfect opportunity to bounce back.

And what better way to do it in their stronghold, a venue where the Aliancistas have not lost in a domestic tournament since September 4, 2022, ironically against their upcoming rival. They have an unbeaten streak of 18 matches and in 15 of them, they have earned three points.

Beyond the high scoring usually associated with this team, it is worth noting that in 12 of their mentioned 18 home games, there have been a maximum of two goals. At Codere, the Under (2.5) has a line of (+130), and if you choose it, you could win up to $130 for every $100 bet.

Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Ángelo Campos; Edison Chávez, Carlos Zambrano, Pablo Míguez, Ricardo Lagos; Josepmir Ballón, Jesús Castillo, Jairo Concha; Gabriel Costa, Bryan Reyna, Hernán Barcos.

Betting on Universitario (+230 at Codere)

Universitario is ready to bounce back after suffering a tough defeat against Corinthians at their own stadium. The team from São Paulo defeated them 2-1 in Peru, knocking them out of the Round of 16 in the Copa Sudamericana with an overall score of 3-1.

Luckily for the visiting team, football offers a chance for redemption sooner than expected, and this match against their bitter rival could be just what they need to turn the page. If they win, the Cremas could take the lead in the standings while waiting for other results.

So far in the Clausura Tournament 2023, they haven’t experienced defeat, with three wins and one draw. Additionally, on the road, they have earned four out of six possible points, drawing against Cienciano (1-1) and crushing Cantolao (4-1).

However, their performance away from the Monumental Stadium has been disappointing lately. In fact, they have lost six out of their last eight matches in all competitions, conceding 11 goals and scoring only six.

Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Diego Romero; Aldo Corzo, Williams Riveros, Matías Di Benedetto; Andy Polo, Matías Pérez Guedes, Rodrigo Ureña, Piero Quispe, Nelson Cabanillas; Luis Urruti, Emanuel Herrera.

El Jefe’s Prediction on Alianza Lima vs Universitario

As we mentioned earlier, they faced each other in 2022 at Alejandro Villanueva and the victory went to La U with a comfortable 2-0 score. However, Alianza Lima’s current performance as the home team is worth admiring, while Universitario struggles when playing away. Although the home team has some key players missing, at JefeBet we believe they will take advantage of their opponent’s low morale to win in a closely contested match.

Codere offers an unmissable odds of (+1000) for the Final Result: 1-0 in favor of the Íntimos. If you choose to bet only on this outcome, you can win $1000 for every $100 wagered.
