Sporting Cristal Melgar betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Alianza Lima, by (3‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Sport Boys, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa Sudamericana, they got an away loss against Universidad Católica by (6‑0). In the last 7 away league matches Melgar has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 21 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Melgar have been seeking growth at Apertura and will need to maintain regularity to make it happen. In this way, the team do not think about stumbling in the competition, but they need to play very well to have good results. So, expect to have quality on the pitch and not give margins for errors. In their current duel they are focused and determined to get a positive score, but will need to work hard if they want to even draw. In this match Nicolás Freitas will be left out having to meet suspension.

Confirmed Lineup: Carlos Cáceda, Giancarlo Carmona, David Villalba, Carlos Neyra, Jhon Narvaez, Alexi Edwin Gomez, Hernán Hinostroza, Joel Sánchez, Alexis Arias, Johnny Vidales, Bernardo Cuesta.
