Betting on Club Universitario de Deportes
Everything seems to suggest that Universitario is entering a new stage. Thinking about its international debut, Los Cremas has managed to do what it takes to reach its first Copa Sudamericana match by rebuilding on a good performance after a dismal start to the 2023 campaign.
However, it is worth pointing out that at the local level, La U managed to win by the minimum difference against Melgar last Sunday. Thus, the team had its first win in 3 matches, which places them in the 9th place with 6 points.
Besides, it is also worth mentioning that this match implies the debut of Jorge Fossati as the new head coach after the resignation of Carlos Compagnucci due to poor results.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): José Carvallo; Aldo Corzo, Marco Saravia, Williams Riveros, Nelson Cabanillas; Jorge Murrugarra, Piero Quispe; Luis Urruti, Andy Polo, Martín Perez Guedes; Alex Valera.
Betting on Club Cienciano
Cienciano, on the other hand, arrives into its international match with less experience than their opponents. In fact, during the weekend, the champion of the 2003 edition of the Copa Sudamericana was unable to play its match against Alianza Atletico de Sullana in the city of Cusco. This is due to the controversy over television rights that is preventing the realization of matches in Peruvian Soccer.
Even so, El Papá de América experiences a difficult sporting moment. Leonel Álvarez’s team has two consecutive victories under its belt, the last of which was a 3-1 away win over Sport Huancayo on February 18.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Miguel Ángel Vargas; Luis Garro, José Leguizamón, Carlos Beltrán, Ayrthon Quintana; Gonzalo González, Ángel Ojeda, Alberto Quintero; Paolo Hurtado, Juan Romagnoli, Carlos Garcés.
JefeBet Prediction
This match favors Universitario incredibly, not only because of the hostile environment that the home game against Cienciano will present, but also because both the current and historical sporting moment are in favor of the team managed by Jorge Fossati.
All in all, of the last 26 matches between the Cremas and the Reds at the Monumental, the U is the one taking over the record with 19 victories, while the Cusquenians have only won once at the Coloso de Ate. Thus, the locales should be worried about this match history, since the locals will endeavor to extend it this Thursday.
Prediction: Universitario wins (UNI 2-0 CIE).
