Universitario de Deportes
- Universitario de Deportes’s home record in Liga 1 - Apertura is perfect with four wins from as many games and they have been solid at the back, conceding just once in their last four league fixtures.
- Alex Valera is their talisman going forward with five goals in eight league games and two of Universitario’s last six.
Alianza Lima
Alianza Lima are also unbeaten away from home in Liga 1 - Apertura, registering 2 wins and 2 draws from 4 games.
Head-to-Head

Key Players
- Alex Valera is their talisman going forward with five goals in eight league games and two of Universitario’s last six.
- The forward has four goals in seven Liga 1 - Apertura games and three of those have come in his last five outings.
Betting Insights
- The odds for a home win on Sunday are 1.94, so Universitario de Deportes are clear favorites to take the win when Alianza Lima come to town, but it’s not that simple in a fixture that means much more than just the three points at stake.
- Alianza Lima have only conceded 0.5 goals per away game in the Apertura, so we are taking Both Teams to Score - No at 1.67 and Under 2.5 goals at 1.55 in this tight clash that we think could go to the home side.
Prediction
That could go either way, but with Alianza in better form and Universitario in better shape at home, we’ll side with the hosts to win in a tight matchup that could see at least one of the teams shutout.
