Betting on Club Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca
It should be noted that UTC will be rested for this match, as el Gavilán was scheduled to play against Carlos Mannucci in Trujillo last week. However, due to heavy rains and floods in northern Peru, the match had to be postponed.
Marcelo Grioni’s men are in 15th place in the Liga 1 standings with 6 points and are on a mission to make amends for its last two defeats. The last of these was suffered at home against Alianza Lima on March 5.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Patrick Zubczuk; Erick Canales, Juan Randazzo, Gianmarco Gambetta, Luis Trujillo; Stefano Diez, Matías Abisab, Matías Abisab, Erinson Ramírez, Gaspar Gentile; Facundo Peraza.
Betting on Foot Ball Club Melgar
On the other hand, Melgar is experiencing an extremely complicated situation. The red-and-black team has lost all 4 matches it has played so far in the Liga 1, thus, arriving in Cajamarca at the bottom of the Liga 1 standings with no points.
Because of all these unfortunate results at the start of the championship, the Arequipa management finally decided to dismiss the head coach, Pablo Lavallén. In his place, the hiring of Mariano Soso as el Domino’s new coach was announced.
It should be noted that, like UTC, Melgar will also be rested for this match. Due to the heavy rains that have been lashing northern Peru, the match against César Vallejo had to be suspended and later postponed.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Carlos Cáceda; Alejandro Ramos, Alec Deneumostier, Leonardo Galeano, Paolo Reyna; Horacio Orzán, Walter Tandazo, Alexis Arias; Cristian Bordachar, Luis Iberico, Bernardo Cuesta.
JefeBet Prediction
UTC vs Melgar will be a duel between two teams with extremely concerning situations. These are two teams that, one more than the other, can get complicated at the bottom of the standings, so there will be a lot of tension at the Héroes de San Ramón.
The goal difference between los Gavilanes and el Rojinegro is 0 vs -7. Therefore, the home team’s scoring rate this Saturday may be enough to give them a win in the city of carnival. Meanwhile, the manager change could also be a key factor for the Arequipa team to return home, having obtained the three points.
Prediction: UTC wins (UTC 1-0 MEL).
