Asociacion Deportiva Tarma
- Asociacion Deportiva Tarma have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks with their results starting to reflect Diego Ripacolli’s new approach since taking over as manager.
- Their home form has been solid in the Liga 1 - Apertura so far with three wins, two ties and two defeats from seven matches, but they have been particularly strong in their most recent pair of outings at home.
- ADT, who sit 10th in the Liga 1 - Apertura with 17 points from 14 matches, have scored an average of 1.57 and conceded 1.00 at home this season.
Comerciantes Unidos
- Comerciantes Unidos have enjoyed a decent first half of the season, earning 20 points from their 14 matches to leave them seventh in the Liga 1 - Apertura table.
- Claudio Biaggio has done a good job since his appointment, maintaining a tight tactical discipline around a three-man defense and deploying his wing-backs and disciplined midfielders to create chances, particularly on the break.
- The visitors have struggled on the road somewhat with one win, two ties and three defeats from six away games in the Liga 1 - Apertura, but they have not won in their most recent two away matches, drawing once and losing once, suggesting they can be tough to break down.
Head-to-Head
In their previous four head-to-heads in all competitions, Asociacion Deportiva Tarma have won twice and tied twice while Comerciantes Unidos have yet to taste victory.
Key Players
- Joao Rojas is ADT’s top scorer in the Liga 1 - Apertura with three goals from nine appearances and looks their biggest threat in front of goal.
- Matias Sen has struck five times in his 13 outings for Comerciantes Unidos.
Betting Insights
The odds for a home victory are 1.6 , but the pick here is both teams to score at 1.99 and over 2.5 goals at 2.01 , with the visitors’ away record of 1.50 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per match in the Liga 1 - Apertura suggesting there should be goals at both ends.
Prediction
ADT have the extra impetus for the victory here given their mid-table standing and the home-field advantage and should win this contest, but Comerciantes Unidos possess a real goal threat in Matias Sen and should be good for a consolation goal.
