Betting on Club Sporting Cristal S.A
If we had to describe Sporting Cristal‘s last week in one word, it would be “relief”. Last Wednesday, the blue and white team achieved its second consecutive victory after winning by the minimum difference as visitors against Binacional. In one of the most challenging stadiums in Peruvian soccer, located almost 4000 meters above sea level, the Sporting Cristal managed to pull off one of the hardest victories to obtain.
With the latest result, the team led by Tiago Nunes managed to add 25 points and climb to the fifth position in the Liga 1 standings. Now, the Rímac team is going for its third victory to arrive in good shape for the next and crucial Copa Libertadores match against River Plate.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Alejandro Duarte; Jhilmar Lora, Gianfranco Chávez, Ignácio Da Silva, Leonardo Díaz; Martín Távara, Jesús Castillo, Leandro Sosa; Washington Corozo, Jostin Alarcón, Brenner Marlos.
Betting on Cusco F.C.
On the other hand, Cusco comes to the Gallardo stadium with the aim of continuing to establish itself as one of the top contenders for the Peruvian title. The Golden team, currently in fourth place in the Liga 1 standings with 26 points, is going through a good collective moment, thanks to having Uruguayan Felipe Rodríguez, the current top assists provider of the season in its ranks.
In the last match, Cusco returned to victory after winning by the minimum difference at home against Deportivo Municipal. However, during the week, the team rested on what was the postponed matchday 2 of the tournament, so Pablo Peirano’s team could come with less playing time to the next match.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Daniel Ferreyra; Josué Estrada, Jonathan Bilbao, Nelinho Quina, Anthony Gordillo; Gerson Barreto, Abdiel Ayarza; Jhonny Vidales, Mauro Da Luz, Felipe Rodríguez; José Fajardo.
JefeBet Prediction
Sporting Cristal has regained its mystique, making it a favorite once again. It’s worth noting that during the season, the team has conceded 4 fewer goals than Cusco.
So, at JefeBet, we’re betting on a light blue victory in the upcoming Sporting Cristal vs Cusco match. However, if you’re feeling risky and want to bet on an away win, keep in mind that Cusco has won four of the last five matches. If you bet $100 on a Cusco win at BetMGM, your profit will be $500. Are you up for it?
