Betting on Sporting Cristal
Sporting Cristal is living an extremely magical moment since last Thursday, the brewing team pulled off the upset beating Huracán 1-0 on the hour to earn a ticket to the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2023. It is worth noting that the last time Peru had 3 representatives in the top South American club tournament was in 2019.
At home, the team coached by Tiago Nunes is coming from a draw with many goals against Deportivo Garcilaso in Cusco, where, after a 4-4 draw, the Rímac side finished the eighth matchday in fifth place in the Liga 1 standings with 9 points.
Now, with their international objectives achieved, Sporting Cristal will not hold anything back for this match at a full stadium while they wait for what is to come in the Copa Libertadores, so it is expected that the sky-blue team will come out with their best weaponry.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Renato Solís; Jhilmar Lora, Ignácio Da Silva, Gianfranco Chávez, Nilson Loyola; Jesús Pretell, Jesús Castillo, Yoshimar Yotún, Jostin Alarcón; Washington Corozo, Brenner Marlos.
Betting on Atlético Grau
On the other hand, Atletico Grau arrives to this match with 2 purposes. The first one is to spoil Cristal’s party at the Gallardo stadium, and the second one, to get a victory that has not been achieved for 4 matchdays, since the last time the albo won was on February 19, triumphing by a score of 4-2 away from home against Binacional.
The team coached by Daniel Ahmed is coming off a 1-1 draw against Deportivo Municipal. It should be noted that during that match, Oslimg Mora was sent off, so the winger of the academic team will be out for this next match.
In addition, the city of Piura is experiencing tense and sad times due to the heavy rains and overflowing rivers that left disasters and families affected, so a victory would bring a smile to the northern fans in these troubled times.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Raúl Fernández; Renato Rojas, Eduardo Caballero, Daniel Franco, Elsar Rodas; Manuel Tejada, Luis Enrique Álvarez; Piero Vivanco, Paulo de La Cruz, Ray Sandoval; Neri Bandiera.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a duel that favors the local team, not only because of the good mood they are in after having achieved their goal in the Copa Libertadores, but also because they have yet to lose in Liga 1. Cristal intends to continue extending its undefeated streak in the tournament and not lose sight of the first places.
Prediction: Sporting Cristal wins (CRI 2-1 GRA)
