Betting on Melgar
Although Melgar has been undefeated in the Liga 1 since March 5th, they haven’t been able to rack up points as they had hoped. Out of their last six matches, five have ended in draws, with their most recent result being a 3-3 draw against Alianza Atlético this past Monday.
Adding another draw to their record has allowed Mariano Soso’s team (who has remained unbeaten since taking over as head coach of the Dominó) to move up to the 16th spot in the Peruvian league table with eight points. Now, their goal will be to secure a win and distance themselves from the looming possibility of falling to the bottom of the standings.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Carlos Cáceda; Alejandro Ramos, Alec Deneumostier, Leonardo Mifflin, Paolo Reyna; Horacio Orzán, Alexis Arias, Tomás Martínez; Cristian Bordachar, Luis Iberico, Bernardo Cuesta.
Betting on Cantolao
Meanwhile, Cantolao is in an extremely tense situation, as they continue to suffer defeat after defeat. In fact, they currently sit at the bottom of the Liga 1 standings with only three points, making them the most likely candidate for relegation.
Led by Argentine coach Edgardo Malvestiti, the team from Callao heads into this match after suffering their fifth consecutive defeat last Saturday, losing 2-0 at home against Carlos Mannucci. This result adds to the already dire situation of the yellow team and makes them a clear underdog in the betting odds.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Christian Limousin; Giancarlo Carmona, Facundo Moreira, Francisco Duclós, Alonso Tamariz; Josimar Vargas, Rafael Guarderas; Ítalo Regalado, Luis Ramírez, Diego Ramírez; Gabriel Leyes.
JefeBet Prediction
The fact that Melgar has been accumulating points, combined with Cantolao’s tough streak of defeats, makes the Rojinegros a clear favorite in the betting odds. However, it’s always worth taking a closer look at the numbers for both teams. In this case, Melgar has a better goal difference than Cantolao, with a record of -6 compared to their opponent’s -19.
As for the history between the two teams, this will be the 16th match between them and the seventh with Melgar as the home team. Out of these seven games, the team from Arequipa has won four times. At JefeBet, we believe that the home team will once again come out on top and secure the victory.
