Betting on Club Universitario de Deportes
As previously mentioned, Universitario is on a roll, with an impressive undefeated streak of 5 matches. What was as a shaky start for the team has turned around, and Jorge Fossati’s squad is now one of the top contenders to fight for the title in the first part of the Peruvian competition.
However, bad news struck on Friday when the Merengues team drew 0-0 against Deportivo Garcilaso. This draw, coupled with Alianza Lima’s victory over Cienciano, cost La U the top spot on the standings. Now, the team is in third place with 16 points, and it needs to get back to its winning ways as soon as possible to dream about being leaders again.
It is also important to highlight the great moral state of the Ate team. Last Wednesday, Fossati’s men achieved an historic result, winning by the narrowest of differences away from home against Gimnasia La Plata. It was the team’s debut in the group stage of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana.
On the other hand, Universitario will not be playing without Nelson Cabanillas in this match. The left-back was shown a red card during the last match against Garcilaso, so he will have to serve his one-match suspension.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): José Carvallo; Hugo Ancajima, Aldo Corzo, Williams Riveros, Matías Di Benedetto, Piero Guzmán; Rodrigo Ureña, Piero Quispe, Martín Pérez Guedes; Luis Urruti, Emanuel Herrera.
Betting on Atletico Grau
Meanwhile, Atletico Grau has been able to regain its sanity after returning to its winning ways on matchday 10, when the Albos defeated Sport Boys 3-0 at home in Piura.
Now that Daniel Ahmed’s men have returned to the path of victory, they travel to Lima with the aim of fixing the setbacks they have experienced throughout their campaign.
Grau’s current position on the standings is not favorable, as it is sitting at 11th place with only 11 points. They need to climb up positions, and after showing a good performance in the last match, there is a chance of achieving a good result against all odds.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Raúl Fernández; Manuel Tejada, Eduardo Caballero, Daniel Franco, Elsar Rodas; Axel Moyano, Joel López Pisano; Oslimg Mora, Paulo de La Cruz, Ray Sandoval; Neri Bandiera.
JefeBet Prediction
Clashes between two clubs in a good state of mind are always a factor to consider, however, the statistics favor Universitario. With a superior goal difference of +7 against +4, the Cremas come into this match as undeniable favorites.
Yet, the Grau team has already proven capable of winning in difficult stadiums. The team has won in venues where it faced disadvantages, such as high altitude, so it should not have a problem taking all three points in hostile environments like the one presented by the intimidating La U‘s fanbase.
Prediction: Universitario wins (UNI 2-1 ATG).
