Deportivo Garcilaso
- Top of the table Deportivo Garcilaso (22 points from 10 games) take on the 5th placed Sport Huancayo (19 points from 10) in what should be a fascinating matchup between the leaders and a team that has been nipping at their heels.
- Deportivo Garcilaso have the best home record in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026, winning all 5 matches and conceding just 4 goals to date.
Sport Huancayo
- Sport Huancayo have won their last 4 games in a row and have drawn only 1 of their last 5 (W4, D1).
- Richard Pellejero took over as Sport Huancayo manager on 27th March, 2026, and he has transformed the Rojo Matador into a high-tempo, high pressure side that aims to force turnovers, get forward at speed and create chances.
- Javier Sanguinetti (6 goals in 8 Liga 1 - Clausura 2026) is Huancayo's talisman and he has been their most prolific finisher of late, notching 4 of their last 9 goals.
Head-to-Head
- Sport Huancayo have the better recent head-to-head record, winning 3 of the last 5 meetings between the two teams in all competitions (D1, L1).
- Garcilaso have failed to beat Huancayo in either of their last 2 meetings at Cusco's Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, which will give the visitors a little confidence boost ahead of Saturday's game, and we're going to back the away side to come out on top in a tight contest that can go either way.
Key Players
- Beto da Silva (5 goals in 10 Liga 1 - Clausura 2026) is the team's main attacking threat, but the front line can play with a variety of different profiles and are well drilled in how they are expected to operate.
- Javier Sanguinetti (6 goals in 8 Liga 1 - Clausura 2026) is Huancayo's talisman and he has been their most prolific finisher of late, notching 4 of their last 9 goals.
Betting Insights
- Garcilaso have an excellent home record so far this season (W5, D0), while Huancayo have been just as impressive on the road, taking 3 wins from 5 attempts and averaging 1.60 goals scored per game on their travels.
- Deportivo are the slight favourites here at 2.08, with Huancayo priced at 3.35.
- However, we think backing the draw at 3.45 is the way to play this one, although under 2.5 goals at 1.95 would also fit the bill for a tight game, especially with both teams to score priced at 1.65.
