Cusco FC
- Cusco FC are the slight favourites for this clash but Alianza Lima's four-game unbeaten streak away from home suggests the draw is the value bet this Sunday.
- Cusco FC have won three and lost two of their last five matches, beating Club Deportivo Moquegua 2-0 at home, losing 0-1 to FBC Melgar at home and beating FC Cajamarca 2-1 away.
- Guerreros dorados have been solid at Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega this season, winning four and losing one of their five home outings in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026.
- Javier Rabanal's team have been hard to get the better of this term, as their compact low-block has been difficult to break down and their counter-attack has given them a vertical edge.
Alianza Lima
- Alianza Lima are unbeaten away from home in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 (4 draws from 4).
- The Lima-based outfit, who have scored 1.25 goals on average and conceded 1.25 on their travels in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026, lost 1-2 at home to Universitario de Deportes last time out before beating Asociacion Deportiva Tarma 2-0 at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva.
Head-to-Head
- Cusco FC have won four and lost one of five home games in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026.
- The two clubs are closely matched on the table, so it's unlikely to be a blowout.
Key Players
- Cusco FC will surely punish any errors from the visitors, as they have scored 12 times in five at home in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026, while Alianza Lima carry enough firepower to put at least one in the net.
- Facundo Callejo has been their danger man in the competition with eight goals in nine games, while Eryc Castillo has kept Alianza Lima in the frame with eight in 10, including three of their last five.
Betting Insights
The draw looks a solid pick, because Cusco FC 's home record and Alianza Lima 's unbeaten away streak don't match the odds here, but the middle of the park should rule the day so under 2.5 goals and both teams to score - No is the smart way to go.
Prediction
- Cusco FC are the slight favourites for this clash but Alianza Lima's four-game unbeaten streak away from home suggests the draw is the value bet this Sunday.
- The middle third and transition battles will be interesting here because Rabanal's side have a measured, patient and conservative way of pressing, while Alianza Lima, under Pablo Guede, play an attack-first style with an aggressive press and fast transitions.
