Peruvian Liga 1 kicks off with the Apertura 2023 with a clash between Sport Boys vs Alianza Atletico. This game will pit two teams that are eager to transcend and surpass last year’s results, but with very different aims in mind. While Los Rosados remained 5 points out of the relegation playoff, Los Churres were left out of the Copa Sudamericana due to the difference in total goals.
Unfortunately, due to the current situation in Peru, and the fact that 8 teams had gone on a strike for the television rights, the opening day of the 2023 edition of the tournament will not take place this weekend.

Sport Boys Preview
The Sport Boys team got reinforced in defense with Christian Ramos, who will be the starting center back, and Dylan Caro, who will cover the left side. Still, Guillermo Sanguinetti’s main concern is that the team does not allow as many goals as it did last season.
Los Rosados scored 40 goals in the last tournament, but conceded 63, which are far too many goals. If the team wants to win, it cannot concede that amount goals, it is as simple as that. However, because of this, the team realized that it was a priority to reinforce the defense.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Alvaro Melgar; Federico Milo, Christian Ramos, Werner Schuler, Dylan Caro; Jesús Barco, Juan Morales, Jesús Chávez, Jhilmar Lobatón; Fabrizio Roca, Kevin Sánchez
Alianza Atletico Preview
The objective of the Sullana team is simple: to qualify for international tournaments.Last year, the team failed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana due to the goal difference. Now, Carlos Desio has the task of taking the team to play there.
For this reason, all Alianza Atletico’s lines were reinforced. The team brought in Diego Melián (goalkeeper), Marcos Ortíz and Jesús Mendieta (defenders), Juan Pablo Carranza (midfilder), and Santiago Rebagliati (forward) who is expected to score the goals along with Adrían Fernández.
The team’s fundation is holding up, but the aim is to keep improving. The team knows that if it manages to have a good Apertura 2023, the South American continental competitions will get closer and closer.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Federico Nicosia; Manuel Gazoza, Angelo Pizzorno, Marcos Ortiz; Aldair Perleche, Santiago Arias, Piero Sierra, Roger Torres; Flavio Fernandez, Adrían Fernandez, José Manzaneda
JefeBet Prediction
As we have previously mentioned, both teams want to start the tournament in an impactful way. What’s more, both teams will have a few more days of preseason, and with so many new players on both sides, they will have more time to adapt. Yet, we believe this Sport Boys vs Alianza Atletico match will end in a draw at the Miguel Grau Stadium. Both teams seem to be very evenly matched, and as a reference, we can say that in last year’s Apertura and Clausura, Sport Boys defeated Atlético Alianza twice (1-2 and 2-0).
Still, we do not believe that the dominance will continue on this match, but that Los Churres will not be able to defeat Los Rosados on the road. For this reason, we believe the match will end in a draw.
Prediction: Sport Boys 0-0 Alianza Atletico.
