Head-to-Head
Universidad won the reverse fixture 4-3 five months ago in the Primera Division 2026, and have won two of the last three, so the hosts are rightfully the odds-on favourites here at 1.49 .
Key Players
- He has been on fire of late, scoring five of Universidad's eight goals in their last five games across all competitions, which makes him a great anytime goalscorer option here.
- Giovani Chiaverano is Audax's in-form finisher, netting 6 goals, and has scored two of their three goals in their last five across all competitions, so he's a solid pick in the anytime goalscorer market.
Betting Insights
- They are scoring an average of just 0.64 goals per game on the road in the Primera Division 2026 and conceding an average of 1.64, so look likely to be vulnerable on the counter here.
- A solid alternative option is Under 2.5 Goals at 2.03 as this is likely to be a game where Universidad dictate the tempo and Audax look to stay compact, which could be low-scoring.
Prediction
- Our main selection for this game will be Universidad to win at 1.49 as the home team are strong favorites and should be able to break down Audax here.
- We feel they will have too much quality for the visitors, but Audax are a better team than they were a few months ago, so it may not be a walk in the park for La Franja.
