Academia Deportiva Cantolao vs Universidad San Martin Prediction 20 June 2026
🔊 In the second round of the Peruvian League Cup, Academia Cantolao are set to face San Martin. The hosts are just kicking off their campaign and may need some time to find their rhythm. Meanwhile, the visitors have already played an impressive opening match and could look much sharper on the pitch. That might have a significant impact on how this game unfolds.
Head-to-Head
📊 The sides last met just under three weeks ago, with San Martin cruising to a 4-0 victory. Looking back at their previous five head-to-head encounters, Academia Cantolao hold a slight edge with two wins, one loss, and three draws.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results

Academia Deportiva Cantolao Team Overview
The team's last official match took place on as part of the Segunda Division tournament (home team - Academia Deportiva Cantolao, away team - Dep.San Martin). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:4.
Here are the game statistics (Academia Deportiva Cantolao vs Dep.San Martin):
- ball possession: 41% vs 59%;
- corner kicks: 1 vs 6;
- yellow cards: 5 vs 3;
- shots on target: 1 vs 6.
The hosts return to action after several weeks off-a break that has clearly taken a toll on the squad’s sharpness. This comes on the back of a six-game losing streak, so their current form is far from ideal. Statistically, things look bleak: they have conceded an average of 1.9 goals over their last 10 matches, making it hard to expect much defensive solidity. Offensively, they’ve managed 1.4 goals per game in that same stretch, but the layoff could disrupt their attacking rhythm as well. The home crowd factor is unlikely to make much of a difference here.

Dep.San Martin Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Copa de la Liga tournament (home team - Dep.San Martin, away - Sport Boys). The match ended with a score of 2:2.
Here are the game statistics (Dep.San Martin vs Sport Boys):
- ball possession: 49% vs 51%;
- corner kicks: 3 vs 3;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 3;
- shots on target: 6 vs 8.
Last week, San Martin faced Sport Boys, and their clash with the top-flight side ended in a 2-2 draw. The attack delivered an impressive performance, though the defense did show some vulnerability against stronger opposition. However, when up against a team of similar caliber like Academia Cantolao, San Martin may not encounter such significant problems-especially considering they already thrashed this opponent on their own turf at the end of May. Statistically, San Martin average 1.4 goals scored and 1 conceded per game over their last 10 matches.

Editors’ Prediction
In this clash, the visitors seem to have the upper hand. San Martin are already back in rhythm, having just pushed a very strong opponent to the limit. Despite playing at home, Academia Cantolao are unlikely to find their attacking spark right away, and their defensive struggles are expected to continue. The visitors look more confident and have had ample time to recover since their last outing. Our editorial team believes the hosts are not yet ready to claim any points here. We’re backing a San Martin win.
