Sport Huancayo Preview
The Peruvian team has not yet had its debut in Liga 1. Due to the strong altercations and the complex political and social situation in the Inca country. However, in what seemed to be the first confirmed duel, Cusco FC (their opponent) did not show up and Huancayo won by a score of 3-0.
What worries the Peruvian team’s supporters is the lack of preparation prior to this important international duel. Unfortunately for them, despite having a long preseason, they did not play many friendlies. For this new Sport Huancayo vs Nacional Asunción match, the local team is expected to show off their new signings and that the deep, quick and effective analysis of their coach, can accommodate his staff in favor of victory.
Possible Sport Huancayo lineup (4-3-3): Ángel Zamudio; Marco Huamán, Juan Barreda, Jimmy Valoyes and Hugo Ángeles; Ricardo Salcedo, Marcos Lliuya and Ray Gómez; Carlos Ross, Ronal Huaccha, Juan Pérez.
