Sport Boys vs Deportivo Garcilaso Prediction 13 September 2026
🔊 In this Peruvian Clausura fixture, Sport Boys take on Deportivo Garcilaso. Both sides have been performing reasonably well in this phase of the season, largely thanks to solid defensive organisation. A meeting between these two teams is likely to be defined by their defensive strengths rather than attacking output. Going forward, neither side has looked particularly impressive.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last meeting between these two sides took place in early April, when Deportivo Garcilaso won 3-2 at home. It is worth noting that the away side in the upcoming match have beaten Sport Boys in each of the last four head-to-head encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Sport Boys - Deportivo Garcilaso

Sport Boys Team Overview
Sport Boys lost their last match, going down 2-1 to Sport Huancayo. Before that, though, they had a decent run: two wins in the Clausura and a place in the next round of the national cup. Defensively, the team have looked solid of late. At home, Sport Boys have the best defensive record in the league, conceding just 0.54 goals per game. In attack, things are less encouraging: 1.8 goals per match. And against a side that is also extremely strong defensively, a goal fest seems unlikely - nothing like the 5-1 against Cienciano, for instance. A low-scoring game is expected.
Match Results: Sport Boys

Deportivo Garcilaso Team Overview
Deportivo Garcilazo have hit a fine run of form: four wins from their last five matches. Their only dropped points in that spell came against the aforementioned Cienciano (0-0). Last round they produced an impressive attacking display, beating Atlético Grau 4-2. That said, this is not really Garcilazo's typical style. The visitors are considerably more effective defensively. They concede 0.92 goals per match on average - and, interestingly, their defensive numbers are even better away from home, where that figure drops to 0.83. Against Sport Boys, they will probably set up with defensive solidity as the priority. Given the opponent's style, keeping a clean sheet should not be too difficult.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-0 (20.63%), 0-0 (19.06%) and 0-1 (10.58%). Of these, a narrow home win is the most probable, though the chance of a goalless draw is also quite high. All three scenarios fit a pattern of low-scoring, cautious play.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The bookmakers make the home side favourites. Home advantage carries particular weight in the Peruvian Clausura. That said, given Sport Boys' fairly poor attacking output, there is little reason to expect them to be prolific. The team are more likely to focus on defensive solidity. Deportivo Garcilaso may approach the match in a similar way. Our editorial team believes there will not be many clear-cut chances in this game. A 0-0 scoreline is not out of the question. We are going with Total Goals - Under 2.5.
