Betting on Grau
Grau has been having a rough time lately. In these final matches of the Apertura phase, the team from Piura suffered two consecutive defeats. Their recent loss against Carlos Mannucci by the minimun difference last Saturday was a tough pill to swallow for the squad.
These previous results have left Daniel Ahmed’s team in the 13th position of the standings with 16 points. Sitting right in the middle of the table, the Albos need to start racking up wins to tighten things up.
Unfortunately, this won’t be an easy task for the northern squad. They will arrive in Bernal without striker Fernando Márquez, who was handed a direct red card in their latest match.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Raúl Fernández; Manuel Tejada, Eduardo Caballero, Daniel Franco, Alessandro Milesi; Axel Moyano, Luis Enrique Álvarez; Oslimg Mora, Neri Bandiera, Paulo De La Cruz; Rodrigo Salinas.
Betting on Cienciano
On the other hand, Cienciano travels to the north with the aim of achieving another victory that will not only place them in the middle of the table but will also provide them with possibilities to start escalating positions. Currently, the team from Cusco sits in eighth place with 21 points in the overall standings.
In their last match, the team coached by Leonel Álvarez drew 1-1 at home against Universidad César Vallejo in a hard fought match. On the positive side, their most recent result was the fifth game in which Cienciano managed to register at least a point.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Miguel Ángel Vargas; Luis Garro, Hansell Riojas, Koichi Aparicio, Iván Santillán; Carlos Beltrán, Gonzalo González, Ayrthon Quintana; Juan Romagnoli, Alberto Quintero, Carlos Garcés.
JefeBet Prediction
Although both teams are somewhat distanced from each other in the Liga 1 standings, the aggregate numbers between the two clubs are very similar, so much so that both have scored 20 goals so far this season.
Even so, Cienciano has conceded the most goals and is the most vulnerable of the two clubs. Therefore, at JefeBet we are betting on a draw in a duel that will surely be very even until the last minute of the game.
Prediction: Draw (ATG 0-0 CIE).
