Betting on Melgar (-286 at Codere)
Its poor performance in the Apertura Tournament, where it finished 9th with only 25 points, is now a thing of the past. Melgar defeated Cesar Vallejo 2-1 away and reclaimed the top spot in the domestic championship, alongside Universitario, which incidentally defeat it just a week ago with a score of 1-0.
Melgar has won five out of its eight challenges and boasts 15 goals for and only five against. Additionally, the team has celebrated victories in four of its last six home matches, scoring at least two goals in each of them.This speaks volumes about the excellent form of its offense, thanks to the goal-scoring contributions of Bernardo Cuesta and Tomás Martínez.
After falling in its last home match, the host team will try to bounce back against an opponent that tends to give it trouble every time it plays away. In fact, the team has only managed to win one out of its previous four direct encounters. Will Melgar be able to break the curse and take a big step towards the title?
Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Carlos Cáceda; Horacio Orzán, Leonel Galeano, Jean Pierre Archimbaud; Alejandro Ramos, Kenji Cabrera, Walter Tandazo, Jhamir D’Arrigo; Tomás Martínez, Pablo Lavandeira; Bernardo Cuesta.
Betting on Liga 1
Betting on UTC (+900 at Codere)
To the disgrace of the home team, UTC comes into this match after getting its first win in Liga 1. The team defeated Carlos Mannucci 2-0 in front of its home rowd and climbed to 13th place in the standings with seven points. This was the result of four draws and three defeats. It is worth noting that it was the only team in this competition that had not yet won three points.
In this way, UTC ended a streak of eight winless matches, something it had not achieved since May 28 when it defeated Universitario at its stadium. The most alarming thing is that in those matches the team had scored only six goals and conceded 12, numbers that demonstrate the scarce contribution of its attackers.
However, that is not the most worrying fact ahead of this momentous clash. On the road, Marcelo Grioni’s side is the weakest in the Peruvian Primera Division, having won just one of its last 12 matches. Paradoxically, this win was attained against the only competitor it managed to defeat in the current Clausura.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Patrick Zubczuk; Erick Canales, Juan Randazzo, Adrián Gutiérrez, Luis Trujillo; Carlo Diez, Cristian Mejía; Rely Fernández, Matías Abisab, Gaspar Gentile; Erinson Ramírez.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Melgar vs UTC
Four of UTC’s six closest away matches saw each side hit the back of the net. Considering that the visiting team seems to have improved its level on the matchday 7, at JefeBet, we predict that this trend will repeat itself.
