Sport Boys (home)
- Sport Boys have drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 3 home games.
- Carlos Desio has brought a high tempo, aggressive pressing game to Sport Boys, which is more suited to the modern game and has made them a more entertaining team to watch since his arrival in March 2026.
- The trouble is, results haven’t always been consistent, with the host club taking just 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 games, a run which included a 0-0 draw at home to the struggling Universitario de Deportes last weekend.
Cusco FC (away)
- Alejandro Orfila took over Cusco FC in late March 2026 and has brought a more measured approach to the team.
