Comerciantes Unidos
- Comerciantes Unidos are unbeaten on home turf with 1 win and 0 losses in Liga 1 - Apertura.
- They haven’t conceded a single goal so far.
- After an opening day 0-0 home draw to Asociacion Deportiva Tarma, Comerciantes Unidos will be looking to bounce back when they play host to Los Chankas CYC on Sunday.
- They followed up that goalless draw with a 2-1 defeat away to Alianza Lima and currently sit 7th in Liga 1 - Apertura having secured 3 points from their opening 2 games.
- Claudio Biaggio’s Comerciantes Unidos side has been steady so far and their 4-2-3-1/4-5-1 system seems to suit them.
- At 2.23, they are slight favorites to take the victory here.
Los Chankas CYC
- Los Chankas CYC are still seeking a first away win in Liga 1 - Apertura after 1 draw from 1 fixture.
- Los Chankas CYC’s first two matches saw them draw 1-1 away to Sport Boys before narrowly beating Alianza Atletico 1-0 at home.
- Walter Paolella took charge of Los Chankas CYC back in June 2025 and has already made them a high-tempo team that plays an attacking three-at-the-back system, trying to overload the flanks, transitioning quickly and pressing opponents aggressively to break them down.
- Los Chankas CYC, however, are by no means underdogs at 3.23, with the draw at 3.16 being a fair chance as well.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record between these two is 2 wins for Los Chankas CYC, 1 win for Comerciantes Unidos, and 1 draw in their last 4 meetings.
- Los Chankas CYC, however, have failed to win in their previous 2 trips to Comerciantes Unidos.
Key Players
- Rodrigo Vilca will be a key attacking outlet for Comerciantes Unidos, having scored 1 in 2 Liga 1 - Apertura games so far.
- Los Chankas CYC will rely on Abidel Ayarza’s presence.
- Ayrthon Quintana has 1 assist in 2 games.
Betting Insights
- Both teams have scored 1 goal in their respective home and away fixtures in Liga 1 - Apertura.
- I’m going with Under 2.5 goals at 1.69 for this one, as both teams are defensively minded and it should be a tough and cagey game.
Prediction
The bookmakers are making Comerciantes Unidos narrow favorites for this match and with both sides being in mixed form in their recent 5 outings ( W2 D1 L2 ), I’m backing the hosts to come out on top on Sunday.
