Alianza Atlético are showing consistency: they are a mid-table side not only in the Clausura (10th place) but across the season as a whole. This applies to many metrics - including goals scored (1.23 per game on average, 10th in the league). In general, the team does not look to play in an open manner. Quite the opposite. And this, especially at home, allows them to do well defensively: they concede just 0.6 goals per game on their own ground. That is one of the best records in the championship. Against Sporting, the coaching staff will clearly not risk any adventurous experiments. The same tight, defensive football is expected - like the one they showed recently against Tarma (1:1).

Sporting Cristal are having a very strong Clausura campaign. At the moment they are the second-best side in this stage of the championship. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches. No one in the league is performing as well as the upcoming visitors. They recently took apart Sport Huancayo (4:1). However, the away factor could present a certain difficulty for the team's attack. Moreover, they concede quite a lot on the road - almost 2 goals per game (one of the worst records). And, in order to extend their good run, the visitors may start playing considerably more cautiously. Especially since the nature of the opposition, under certain circumstances, allows for a clean sheet. That would be a major achievement.

⭐ Editor's Pick
These are two teams with fundamentally different approaches to the game. Alianza Atlético are an extremely pragmatic side whose strengths lie in defence. Sporting Cristal look to play from an attacking position, and it is paying off. However, the away factor could still upset things for them. As their head-to-head record shows, low-scoring outcomes are not uncommon in matches between these two sides. Our editors believe Alianza will be able to win the battle in midfield, and this will most likely reduce the number of goalscoring situations to a minimum. We are playing the total under 2.5 goals.
