Alianza Atletico
- Alianza Atletico have won none of their last 5 games, drawing 2 and losing 3.
- Alianza Atletico are in a slump, drawing 2 and losing 3 of their last 5, following their 3-1 away defeat to FBC Melgar Arequipa in the Liga 1 - Apertura and a 4-1 loss to Cusco FC in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 matchup.
Los Chankas CYC
- Los Chankas CYC have won just 1 of their last 5 matches, with 2 draws and 2 defeats.
- Los Chankas CYC arrive at Alianza Atletico's home on Friday in mixed form too, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 5, but they have looked the steadier of the 2 teams with 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in their 10 most recent outings.
Key Players
- Cristian Penilla has been Alianza Atletico's spark, scoring 2 of their 4 goals in their last 5 and 1 goal in 1 Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 appearance, but they need to finish better.
- Jarlin Quintero has been the spark for Walter Paolella's side, who have conceded 8 in 4 away trips in all competitions this season, with 2 of Chankas' 4 goals in their last 5 coming from his boot.
Head-to-Head
Los Chankas CYC have not won on either of their previous 2 away trips to Alianza Atletico, which should give the home side a good chance of edging this one.
Betting Insights
- Alianza have a 4-1 advantage over Los Chankas in the last 5 meetings, but we're going with the home team here because Alianza have looked better than their current 1.71 odds, while 4.0 about the visitors and 3.5 on the draw are too short.
- Back both teams to score at 1.71 and under 2.5 goals at 1.93.
Prediction
- These are contrasting styles with Alianza looking to control the ball and attack through the middle or wide channels, while Chankas play with a compact block and counter quickly with wide players and set pieces.
- That should lead to a possession vs counter battle and we are going to go with the underdog to make a game of it, although Alianza's home form of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 4 is also a problem.
