Prediction
- Richard Pellejero’s return to Sport Huancayo in late March of 2026 was followed by a solid first half to the season, as he had the team playing a compact and disciplined 4-2-3-1 system, with midfield density and controlled defensive-to-offensive transitions taking priority over pressing.
- Marcelo Zuleta’s men, meanwhile, are a little more flexible in terms of shape, but he has been known to set up in 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 systems that favour more creativity and initiative, with Cueva often dictating the tempo.
- Sport Huancayo will be much the more compact and organized side on Sunday, and should have the edge in a matchup where Juan Pablo II College will need to be brave and potentially open themselves up to Sport Huancayo’s counter-attacks.
