Alianza Lima form and stats

Perfect Primera Division season at home so far for Alianza Lima 3 wins from 3 appearances. Alianza Lima haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Sporting Cristal, 113 days ago.

Alianza enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Universitario's place. The match ended 2-1 with Axel Moyano and Ricardo Lagos scoring. Midfielder Ricardo Lagos was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.81 (out of ten) in that game. Lagos scored one goal and hit three key passes. Alianza enjoyed their 2-1 win against Universitario and the result could have been even better, as they hit the posts four times. Some amazing scenes last match, when Axel Moyano scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Deportivo Municipal in a game that was won 1-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Alianza Lima's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn zero and lost one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Alianza's attacking play is working. Alianza Lima are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Alberto Gallardo in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Sport Huancayo form and stats

The Primera Division season is young and Sport Huancayo have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far. Huancayo are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Real Garcilaso fixture.

There were no winners in Huancayo's previous match, a Primera Division home game that ended 1-1 vs Ayacucho (placed 10th). The attacker Jarlin Quintero got a match rating of 7.44 in that game. Quintero scored one goal and hit two key passes.

A 0-0 draw at Cienciano's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Huancayo when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Huancayo's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. It's not easy to score on Sport Huancayo as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these teams meet on the pitch this season, as the records show this recent match: Sport Huancayo - Alianza 0-0. Head-to-head statistics (for the prior ten meetings): Alianza Lima won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Sport Huancayo got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
