Los Chankas CYC
- Los Chankas CYC have won five, drawn two and lost three of their last ten matches in all competitions, while Sport Boys have won four, drawn three and lost three.
- Los Chankas CYC have scored nine goals in their last six home games (all competitions), averaging 1.50 goals per game.
- The side that Paolella has built operates in a 4-2-3-1 when they dominate possession and can change shape to a 3-5-2 or a low block when defending or protecting space.
Sport Boys
- Carlos Desio has been at the helm for a shorter period (since 17 March 2026) but his blueprint looks very Bielsa/Sampaoli-like in terms of being all about tempo and pressure after the loss of the ball.
- The intensity of the press will be up after their 1-0 win against Comerciantes Unidos and that will put pressure on the Los Chankas CYC midfield to make the right decisions.
- Sport Boys' last away trip was a 0-0 tie at Universidad Tecnica de Cajamarca.
Head-to-Head
Los Chankas CYC have won two of the last five meetings, with Sport Boys winning one and two finishing even.
Key Players
- In Walter Paolella's first nine months in the job, the team have been much more solid and have a clear collective identity as a team.
- Jarlin Quintero is their sharpest finisher with two of their four goals coming from his boot in the last five.
Prediction
- Los Chankas CYC could win this game if Sport Boys don't keep the ball well or succumb to playing on the counter.
- In short, we like the hosts to stay ahead or the game to remain level here.
