⭐ Editor's Pick
This match between Melgar and Alianza Lima could produce an open, attacking game from both sides. There's no clear favourite here. Home advantage matters a great deal, but so does the status of being the best team in the league. Both sides show a real ability to create chances, and their finishing is reasonably solid too. Our editorial team thinks defending will take a back seat in this one. The logical bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
