Competition: Peru Primera Division

Match begins: 20:15 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao (11600 seats)

Sport Boys have not won many points this league season. Can the team get some when Cusco FC come to visit Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao?

Insights:
  • Sport Boys have the fewest scored goals in the first half (8) in Primera Division
  • Cusco FC have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cusco FC have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Boys nor Cusco FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sport Boys form and stats

Sport Boys have collected 13 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 4-1-4. When Sport Boys hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Sporting Cristal, Alianza Lima, Universitario, Sport Huancayo and Cesar Vallejo), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

The home team returns to Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao after drawing with UTC Cajamarca on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Roca was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against UTC Cajamarca after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Midfield player Morales got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Morales hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Cesar Vallejo that was lost 0-2.

Sport Boys are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. Boys have conceded 13 in these home matches.

Cusco FC form and stats

There's been little loot from Cusco FC's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Primera Division. Cusco FC only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Cusco FC go into this game after a win, the home game against Sporting Cristal that ended 4-1. That win felt good as this side had gone three league games without victory. Rodríguez, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.23. Rodríguez scored one goal, served one assist, hit seven key passes and had 33 successful passes (of 33 total).

A 0-2 defeat away at Deportivo Municipal before that.

The attacking power of Cusco FC when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. In the opposite end, Cusco have conceded 14 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This happened when the sides met earlier this campaign; Cusco FC - Sport Boys 2-1. Sport Boys-Cusco FC H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Sport Boys three wins, Cusco FC five wins, two draws. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
