Cusco vs Cajamarca Prediction 1 August 2026

The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Universitario de Deportes, away team - Cusco). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2:1.

Here's the game statistics (Cusco vs Universitario de Deportes):

• ball possession: 51% vs 49%;
• corner kicks: 4 vs 3;
• fouls: 12 vs 7;
• yellow cards: 3 vs 1;
• shots on target: 3 vs 5.

At the moment, Cusco's form is far from convincing: three losses, one win and one draw from their last five games. Last round of the Clausura they lost to Universitario 1-2. That said, home form is a different story. Their last match in front of their own fans ended in a 4-1 win over Alianza Atlético - hard to argue with that. Looking at the numbers, the defence stands out for the wrong reasons - conceding 1.7 per game. The attack does cover for it often enough (2 goals per game across their last 10 home matches), but calling them favourites is a stretch. The one constant is attacking football.

The away team played their last official match on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - UTC de Cajamarca, away - Moquegua). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.

Here are the match stats (UTC de Cajamarca vs Moquegua):

• ball possession: 70% vs 30%;
• corner kicks: 7 vs 1;
• fouls: 14 vs 15;
• yellow cards: 3 vs 1;
• shots on target: 6 vs 4.

Cajamarca are hard to find anything genuinely positive about - in any area of their game. The inconsistency is glaring: they lose to Atletico Grau 1-3, then keep a clean sheet against Moquegua. But expecting them to grind out a low-block performance is a stretch. The numbers back that up: 1.3 goals scored per game, 1.5 conceded. Open football is the more likely scenario. Sitting deep is difficult for this side - especially away from home. Going forward, though, they can hurt teams on the counter. And they're not bad at keeping the ball either, so there should be some decent spells of positional play.
