Universitario Pronostico vs Cusco Prediction 25 July 2026
🔊 Universitario and Cusco meet in matchday 2 of the Peruvian Clausura. Both sides were among the better teams in the Apertura and can produce decent football going forward. This one could go a number of ways - but attack should consistently have the edge over defence.

Head-to-head statistics Universitario Pronostico - Cusco
Universitario de Deportes Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - AD Tarma, away team - Universitario de Deportes). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:2.
Here's the game statistics (Universitario de Deportes vs AD Tarma):
- ball possession: 42% vs 58%;
- corner kicks: 4 vs 2;
- fouls: 12 vs 8;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 1;
- shots on target: 6 vs 4.
At the moment, Universitario's record is fairly solid - three wins, one draw and one defeat in five matches, including the Copa de la Liga. That's enough for fourth place in the Apertura table. The 2-1 win away at Tarma last round shows they can get the job done in attack. The average of 0.6 goals per game over their last 10 does look modest - though at home it rises to 0.75 - but their current form suggests they're creating chances consistently. Defensively there are fewer concerns, though 0.8 goals conceded per game on average means they can be got at by pretty much anyone.
Match Results: Universitario de Deportes
Cusco Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Cusco, away - Alianza Atletico). The match concluded with a scoreline of 4:1.

Cusco have been slightly less impressive: 27 points from 17 Apertura matches, good enough for sixth place. Last week, already in the Clausura, they beat Alianza Atlético 4-1. The team has been solid going forward - that was true even in their recent cup matches. Yes, the group stage was a disaster (two losses and a draw), but they still averaged 1.3 goals per game during that run. Over the last 10 matches, they're scoring 1.4 per game on average. Conceding 1.6. This is a team that plays open football, and they're unlikely to park the bus on the road. Expect another free-flowing match with Cusco involved.

Editor's Prediction
Two sides with real defensive problems. Universitario can put together a solid enough performance at home, but keeping a clean sheet is a different matter. Mistakes will happen, even small ones. Cusco play an aggressive, direct style that could open this match up and create chances at both ends. We don't see Universitario running away with it. The visitors will push back. That makes Both Teams To Score: Yes the call here.
