Universitario de Deportes
- Universitario de Deportes have made a strong start to the Clausura campaign and will be eager to keep the momentum rolling after a decent run of 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 matches.
- Universitario have scored 15 goals in their 7 home games so far and look likely to make this a one-way game from the start.
UCV Moquegua
- UCV Moquegua have been in mediocre-to-poor form of late, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from their last 5.
- UCV will be looking to soak up the pressure and counterattack.
- They are likely to sit in a lower block and don't have the quality to play through or around the opposition in a higher block.
- They're likely to line up from either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1 in which they'll stay compact and try to counterattack.
Head-to-Head
Both teams to score - No at 1.57 does seem a little low to us, as the return of the 0-0 Liga 1 - Apertura head-to-head between these sides feels very different.
Key Players
- Alex Valera is the man on a mission for Universitario de Deportes, hitting 6 goals in 10 appearances so far in the Clausura.
- Edgar Lastre has been UCV's main man this season with 3 goals in 9 matches, but the addition of Yorman Zapata has added a little more creativity to their game, he has 5 assists in 9 appearances in the Clausura.
Betting Insights
- Universitario de Deportes are the clear favorites here and should control this game from start to finish.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.56 is also a solid option, but the favorite bet at 1.18 on the home win has to be the pick.
Prediction
- Valera should find the net.
- He has 4 of his teams' last 12 goals and we're going with him to get at least 1 goal against UCV on Monday.
- We fancy Universitario to win and for UCV to have a hard time making an impact.
