Betting on Sporting Cristal
What initially seemed like a neat season start has turned into a crisis that keeps worsening. Sporting Cristal hasn’t seen a victory since March 25, when it won against Cantolao at home. Since then, the lightblue team has only managed to add a series of two draws and one defeat, the latter being the Clásico Moderno derby against Universitario last Monday, which ended in a 2-0 score.
This loss meant the first for Sporting Cristal in Liga 1 during the Tiago Nunes era. As if that wasn’t enough, it put the team in the sixth position with 17 points, far from being able to compete for the title.
So, the Sporting Cristal fan base is very disappointed with the performance of many of its players, especially with what was shown in the last crucial match against the Cremas. Now, it’s urgent to turn the page once and for all if the team wants to regain the credit lost in the last few matchdays.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Renato Solís; Jhilmar Lora, Ignácio Da Silva, Gianfranco Chávez, Nilson Loyola; Martín Távara, Jesús Castillo, Yoshimar Yotún; Leandro Sosa, Alejandro Hohberg, Joao Grimaldo.
Betting on Club Deportivo Universidad Cesar Vallejo
On the other hand, Cesar Vallejo enters this challenge in a period of uncertainty. The team from Trujillo has two consecutive draws, the latest being a 1-1 draw at home against Deportivo Municipal last Monday at the Estadio Mansiche.
The Poet‘s stumbles have also caused a headache for coach Sebastián Abreu, who has been varying his playing system during the last few matches, including the ones for the Copa Sudamericana, in an attempt to turn around the alarming results.
Currently, Cesar Vallejo arrives at this game in fifth place in the standings with 18 points, so it will need a good result on enemy grounds to solve its own and possibly growing crisis.
Possible Lineup (4-1-3-2): Carlos Grados; Carlos Cabello, Carlos Ascues, Renzo Garcés, Jersson Vásquez; Frank Ysique; Facundo Rodríguez, Jairo Vélez, Stefano Olaya; Osnar Noronha, Yorleys Mena.
JefeBet Prediction
When it comes to a match between two direct rivals in the Peruvian soccer league standings, these games are always seen as early finals, since they will define which team says goodbye to the Apertura stage of Liga 1. However, if we look at the numbers, both teams arrive with practically identical records. Cesar Vallejo only takes the lead in goal difference against Sporting Cristal with a differential of +6 vs +5 of its opponent.
On the other hand, if we go to the historical level, Sporting Cristal has the upper hand with 11 games won out of the last 21 played at home. Now, with equal conditions and a turbulent scenario, at JefeBet we believe that we could bet on a tie due to the friction that this Sporting Cristal vs Cesar Vallejo clash will generate.
Prediction: Tie (CRI 1-1 UCV).
