Alianza Universidad
- Alianza Universidad are 14th with 10 points from 9 matches, Sport Boys are 17th with just 5 points.
- This Alianza Universidad vs Sport Boys preview shows that the strategy seems to be working as Alianza Universidad have three wins and two defeats from their last five matches, but they have lost their two most recent games.
- Alianza Universidad have won 2 of their last 3 home games, but lost their most recent home outing 0-3 to Cienciano.
Sport Boys
- Sport Boys are winless in their last 5 matches, with 4 defeats and 1 draw.
- Sport Boys are in bad shape and have not found consistency since Juan Carlos ‘Pato’ Cabanillas took over as manager in late August 2025.
- This Alianza Universidad vs Sport Boys prediction is driven by their recent form, as they drew 2-2 away at Cienciano last time out, but four losses and a draw in their previous five games mean they are in big trouble.
Head-to-Head
- A close game is expected between Alianza Universidad and Sport Boys in Trujillo on Friday, but the home team are likely to prevail in a low-table clash of Peru’s top tier.
- The hosts are clearly the better side, but both teams have been leaking goals and the recent head-to-head suggests the ’BTTS’ market could have some value to it.
Key Players
- Yorleys Mena Palacios is their top scorer with just four goals in eight Liga 1 2025 appearances, but in Marcos Lliuya they have a creative playmaker that has delivered three assists in nine matches and can get them moving forward on the counter.
- Carlos Lopez is the top-scorer on one goal from his nine appearances, indicating that Cabanillas is short of reliable finishers right now.
Betting Insights
- Sport Boys are not a clinical team and have only scored 0.60 goals per game on average away in Liga 1 2025, drawing two and losing three of five away games.
- Alianza Universidad, by contrast, have won one and lost three of their four home league games, conceding 2.00 goals on average.

Prediction
This Alianza Universidad vs Sport Boys prediction takes into account that Mosquera’s men will be up against it, but their organisation and home advantage should be enough to topple this erratic Sport Boys team.
