Sport Huancayo form and stats

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Joel Ademir Pinto Herrera not having conceded a league goal in 192 minutes.

A strong away win for Huancayo against UTC Cajamarca the last match, as V. Balta were on target. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Deportivo Municipal.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Huancayo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost one.

Last season, Sport Huancayo's league statistics were 10 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Primera Division. Over these 19 matches they scored 23 goals and conceded 15. Playing at home last season Sport Huancayo managed 6-2-1 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 8 conceded.

Deportivo Binacional form and stats

The attacking players of Binacional have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 219 minutes.

Deportivo Binacional might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sporting Cristal proved too strong as Binacional slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans. A 0-2 loss hosting Universitario before that.

Binacional lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Binacional are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is six wins, two draws and six defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Let's have a look at how Deportivo Binacional performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 24 and conceded 29 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 4 and lost 3 with 10/10 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last seven matches): Huancayo two wins, four draws and Deportivo Binacional one victory. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
