- In the last two meetings between the clubs, Alianza Lima have won both times with a 4-0 victory here in Liga 1 2025 last term the most recent result.
- Although the value in this game is found in the goal markets, Alianza Lima will have the confidence of the home advantage, a superior squad, and a dominant head-to-head record to justify support in the 3-way market here.
Key Players
- Although the hosts are short odds to win this one, the recent scoring form of veteran striker Jose Paolo Guerrero should be considered when betting on an anytime scorer.
- The veteran has 6 of Alianza’s last 10 goals and will surely be the main focal point of this match.

Prediction
- A high-scoring Alianza Lima victory looks likely.
- Biaggio’s men will set up shop in their 4-4-2, where compactness and counter-attacking is key, and will look to frustrate their opponents as best they can, but I don’t give them a good chance of beating Alianza in this matchup.
