Betting on Melgar
The year 2023 started off on a bad note for Melgar. In the two matches it has played, in addition to the Walkover defeat against Atlético Grau as a result of the tense situation of the leadership dispute in Peruvian Soccer, the team from the city of Arequipa has suffered two defeats. The last defeat the team suffered was a 1-0 loss against Sporting Cristal on its visit to Lima.
To make things even worse, and to add to the tense situation in the dressing room, the home team will not be able to rely on its coach Pablo Lavallén. The Argentine coach was suspended for 6 dates after he hurled curses at referee Michael Espinoza in what was the first home defeat against Deportivo Municipal.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Carlos Cáceda; Alejandro Ramos, Alec Deneumostier, Leonardo Galeano, Paolo Reyna; Horacio Orzán, Tomás Martínez, Alexis Arias; Cristian Bordachar, Luis Iberico, Pablo Magnín
Betting on Sport Boys
Sport Boys is not having a good season in Peruvian Soccer. In three matches played, the Rosados have only won once, against Union Comercio in their debut match. Moreover, on Guillermo Sanguinetti’s team last match, it lost at home to Carlos Mannucci, ending the season in 14th place in the Liga 1 standings.
Now, with the desire to get another victory and escape once and for all the bottom of the standings, the team intends to make the necessary changes that will allow it to return to its winning ways.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Álvaro Villete; Rodrigo Cuba, Christian Ramos, Oliver Benítez, Dylan Caro; Juan Morales, Marcio Valverde, Jesús Chávez; Federico Milo, Edinson Mero, Fabrizio Reyes.
JefeBet Prediction
Melgar vs Sport Boys is a duel of extreme necessity between two teams that have been struggling in the Peruvian Liga 1. It’s important to mention that Sport Boys has already scored two goals this year, whereas Melgar is seeking a win in front of its home fans, an achievement it has not been able to accomplish since the first leg of the 2022 final against Alianza Lima.
In terms of history, this will be the 36th clash between the Melgar and Sport Boys. The Arequipa team has won 11 times, and the team from Callao has won 12 times. The other 11 matches have ended in draws. These are very even statistics.
Prediction: Melgar win in Arequipa (MEL 2-1 SBA)
