Barcelona Sporting Cristal betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the Copa Libertadores with the intention of getting a positive away result. 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 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away loss against UTC Cajamarca by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Sporting Cristal has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

Sporting Cristal is one of the most traditional teams in Peru, but we recognize that it is not experiencing its peak nowadays. Reaching the group stage of the Libertadores would be something of great value for the team, but know that this will not be easy. It is true that they will decide their place at home, but it all starts now, in the first match, where it is important to avoid a stumble. Therefore, they will try to annul the local team, as at least they intend to return home with a draw with goals. In this match, the best players available will be in the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Patricio Álvarez, Karlo Sánchez, Nilson Loyola, Johan Madrid, Omar Merlo, Gianfranco Chavez, Gerald Távara, Christian Ortiz, Horacio Calcaterra, Washington Corozo.
Coach: J. Cazulo, E. Alves Moreira.
