Alianza Atletico
- Alianza Atletico have won 1 of their last 2 home games across all competitions (Drawn 1, Lost 0).
- Alianza Atletico have won just one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, but their 3-1 home win over Los Chankas CYC in their opening Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 match-up was an ideal response.
Cienciano
- Cienciano have lost 2 of their last 2 away games across all competitions (Won 0, Drawn 0).
- Cienciano Cusco are in a similar state, having won two and lost three of their last five matches and their opening Clausura away trip was less rewarding than Alianza's, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Juan Pablo II College.
Recent meetings
The head-to-head record, which features a 1-1 draw on Cienciano's ground in the Apertura phase, would point us towards a Cienciano win.
Who to watch
- They have a couple of wide outlets to get over the top and a focal point in Alejandro Hohberg, who is in good form with one goal in one Clausura match-up and four goals in his last five overall.
- Anthony Gordillo is Alianza's equivalent supply line with two assists in two Clausura games so far, but Cristian Penilla is the sharpest edge with one in two and a knack of making the final touch count when it matters.
Markets to consider
- Alianza are very slightly favoured at 2.04 to win this one, but Cienciano are much too long at 3.62 with the draw at 3.6 - although not out of the question.
- The under 2.5 goals market looks a solid alternative to the match result market with both sides bringing a bit of a tactical edge to the table and Cienciano failing to make any impact away from home in the Clausura so far.
