Union Comercio Preview
Unión Comercio faced its first match of 2023 as one of the new Peruvian first division teams after winning promotion last November. However, it was unable to overcome Sport Boys and ended up losing by a score of 2-1.
One positive thing that can stand out from this bitter debut is the fact of scoring, as it is the only one of the teams that did not win that was able to do so. They will play this match at home, where they have a favorable streak since October 2021. Playing as locals, they are on a positive run of 13 consecutive victories, with 12 of those games being for the second division and the most recent in the match that gave them the promotion against Ayacucho. In addition, they have not conceded any goals in their last five home games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Salomon Libman; Josué Rodríguez, Maelo Reátegui, Herve Kambou, Jesus Arismendi; Kelvin Sánchez, Óscar Barreto; Christian Vargas, Christian Neira, Gino Guerrero; Jesús Arrieta
Universitario Preview
Universitario won its debut match with a resounding 4-0 victory over Cantolao, and with that victory, the local team moved into the first place in the standings. They played preparation matches during the month of January, and although they only won one of the four, it seems those games were useful for them to face the tournament.
The U has not lost a league match since August 2022 and has gone 13 matches without defeat since then, with eight wins and five draws. Although their recent away record is positive, as they have not lost in their last six meetings, they have drawn their last three matches.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): José Carvallo; Hugo Ancajima, Jose Bolivar, Matias Ezequiel Di Benedetto, Nelson Cabanillas; Rodrigo Ureña, Horacio Calcaterra, Martin Perez Guedes, Andy Polo; Jose Rivera, Alex Valera
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams have already shown the level they have at this moment. The performance of Universitario in its debut makes us deduce that of the two, it is the one that arrives in better conditions, after having shown a great attacking power. For this reason, the three points are expected to go to the visitors, who have not lost in their last three matches against Union Comercio.
Prediction: Universitario wins by a score of 0-2.
