Betting on Union Comercio
You could say that the waters at Union Comercio have calmed down, at least for the moment. Under the interim coaching of Raymundo Paz, the Amazonian team was able to find victory again after a series of bad results that forced the departure of former coach Jesús Oropesa a couple of weeks ago..
This much-needed victory came on Monday, April 10, against Cantolao in matchday 11. It’s worth noting that the Alto Mayo team comes into this match refreshed after having had a week off.
Currently, Union Comercio is in 12th place in the Liga 1 standings with 13 points. Therefore, a win could bring the team back into the heart of the standings’ competition and give it much more optimism for the rest of the tournament.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Willy Díaz; Paulo Goyoneche, Nicolás Palacios, Maelo Reátegui, Denilson Vargas; Oscar Barreto, Yorkman Tello; Antonio Romero, Christian Neira, Gino Guerrero; Marlon De Jesús.
Betting on Club Alianza Lima
On the other hand, Alianza Lima is experiencing one of its best moments in a long time. It is currently leading the Liga 1 standing with 24 points, and has a winning streak of four matches in the Peruvian championship. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the favorite in this match in the heart of the jungle.
In the last challenge, the team led by Guillermo Salas managed to defeat Cantolao 3-0 at home in the always crowded Matute stadium. Pablo Sabbag, Bryan Reyna, and Hernán Barcos stood out as the architects of the resounding victory over Delfín.
And if that weren’t enough, the happiness in the blue and white team is even greater, as it comes to this game after achieving a historic victory in the Copa Libertadores, beating Libertad 2-1 away in Paraguay. This victory was the first for the team from the Peruvian capital in the top South American international tournament after 11 long years of drought.
To top it all off, Alianza Lima is going through a busy schedule since, after the match in Paraguay, it heads to the city of Tarapoto, and then moves to Minas Gerais in Brazil to play its next Libertadores match against Atlético Mineiro. Therefore, it is speculated that Salas would field a team of mostly substitutes for this match.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Franco Saravia; Edinson Chávez, Carlos Zambrano, Santiago García, Ricardo Lagos; Josepmir Ballón, Jairo Concha, Christian Cueva; Gabriel Costa, Bryan Reyna, Pablo Sabbag.
JefeBet Prediction
At JefeBet, we’re confident that Alianza Lima will continue its winning streak against Union Comercio in the Peruvian jungle. In fact, the blue and white team has dominated with 5 victories in its last 13 matches, and has only lost 4 times.
Moreover, in recent records, Alianza Lima‘s goal difference outshines Union Comercio’s with a +9 differential compared to the locals’ -3. That’s why we’re backing the current leader of Liga 1 for its fifth consecutive win.
