Due to the political, social, and economic complications that the country is going through, the main Peruvian football tournament had been postponed. However, its schedule was officially announced just a few hours ago. For the time being, there will be no fans allowed in the stadiums. The games scheduled for matchdays 1 and 2 were postponed, but this weekend the matches corresponding to matchday 3 will begin. One of those matchups is Sport Boys vs Union Comercio.
Sport Boys did not finish 2022 in good shape, so they will have to do better this year. On the other hand, Union Comercio, after three years of absence from the First Division tournament, will be looking to play a good role in order to avoid losing the category again.

Sport Boys Preview
The end of Clausura 2022 for Sport Boys was bad, as they lost the last three matches they faced, and conceded three or more goals in each one. It finished with a total of four matches without a win. It had shown much inconsistency throughout the tournament, in which it recorded six wins, three draws, and nine losses. With those numbers, it was ranked 13th in the standings with 21 points.
Now the team is in front of a new opportunity, and they are waiting to do things right. The three-month break surely helped to improve and strengthen the team, but above all to draw up a new project under coach Guillermo Sanguinetti. The Uruguayan coach took over in November and will only be able to coach his first match.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Álvaro Villete; Dylan Caro, Oliver Benítez, Christian Ramos, Christian Vásquez, Federico Milo; Juan Morales, Marcio Valverde, Edison Mero; Kevin Sánchez, Jesús Chávez.
Union Comercio Preview
Union Comercio achieved its return to Liga 1 after three years by defeating Ayacucho in the revalidation. They did well in Liga 2, but will now face a big challenge in their return to the top flight. The board decided to rely on the work of Juan Oropesa, the coach who helped them achieve promotion, to start this tournament, so it is hoped that the team can continue at a good pace.
In the Clausura 2022, they finished in second place overall in Liga 2 with 23 points, after seven wins, two draws, and three defeats. What can be highlighted is the good work in the attack, as this was the team that scored the most goals in the regular phase (30).
Possible lineup (3-5-1-1): Willy Diaz; Nicolas Palacios, Maelo Reátegui, Felix Uculmana; Javier Trauco, Kelvin Sánchez, Miguel Carranza, Denilson Vargas, Óscar Barreto; Joazhiño Arroé, Marlon de Jesús.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be the first official match for both in this year 2023, and they may not be ready yet to show their full potential because of the uncertainty between what is happening in the country and the postponement of the matches. However, we could expect a good game in which they split points.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 1-1.
