Head-to-head statistics Sporting Cristal - Alianza Lima
Sporting Cristal: almost flawless at home
Sporting Cristal lost their previous Primera División match away to Cusco, going down 3-1. Despite winning the corner count 12-2, the visitors managed only three shots on target compared to ten from the hosts.
Sporting Cristal have improved noticeably in the second half of the season, winning seven of their last ten matches. Their home form has been particularly impressive - they have won all six of their Clausura home games. Across their previous ten home matches, the hosts averaged 2.6 goals scored and just 0.9 conceded. That level of attacking output means they regularly compensate for defensive errors, and six consecutive home matches have now ended with at least three goals scored.
Match Results: Sporting Cristal
Alianza Lima: wins without big margins
Alianza Lima's most recent Primera División match saw them win 1-0 away at Moquegua. The visitors had twice as many shots - 20 to 10 - with six on target compared to one for their opponents.
Alianza Lima won the Apertura, but have been less convincing in the second half of the season. Over their last ten matches, the side have won four, drawn four and lost two. They have found some form recently, though, winning their last four in a row. Defensively, Alianza Lima remain their own strongest asset: across those last ten matches they have conceded an average of one goal per game. Away from home, the Lima club rarely produce high-scoring performances, tending to get results without being particularly active going forward.
Match Results: Alianza Lima
Prediction for the 1st half
Sporting Cristal have a habit of making fast starts at home. They scored before half-time in seven consecutive matches and won the first half in each of those games as well. They are particularly dangerous in front of their own supporters, where they consistently put serious pressure on the opposition goal. Alianza Lima are reasonably solid defensively, but keeping such an active side at bay from the first minute will not be straightforward. The pick: Sporting Cristal to Score in the 1st Half at 2.01*.
Total Goals Prediction
Alianza Lima rarely score freely away from home. In 15 of their last 17 away matches, they have scored at most one goal. Their seasonal average is 1.07 goals, and over their last ten away matches it is 1.2. Sporting Cristal are also fairly solid at home, conceding an average of 0.9 goals over their last ten matches. Even accounting for the visitors' decent form, it is hard to expect several productive attacks from them. Our pick: Alianza Lima Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals at 1.48*.
Corners Prediction
Sporting Cristal matches regularly produce a high number of corners. In 10 of their last 11 matches, the two sides combined for at least ten corners. Sporting Cristal themselves earned at least four corners in 9 of their previous 10 league matches. Their activity at home creates a good basis for this trend to continue. Alianza Lima are also capable of sustaining a high tempo, particularly if they find themselves chasing the game. We're backing Total Corners - Over 9 at 1.85*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Alianza Lima regularly trade goals with opponents on the road. In 6 of their last 7 away league matches, both teams have scored. Sporting Cristal are even more aggressive at home, averaging 2.6 goals over their last ten home matches. That said, the hosts' defence is not without its flaws, and Alianza Lima have enough attacking quality to take advantage. Given Sporting Cristal's scoring record at home, they are unlikely to go without a goal either. Bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.70*.
Safer Bet
Alianza Lima rarely treat their supporters to a high-scoring performance. In 8 of their last 9 Primera matches, they scored no more than twice. Away from home their output is even more modest: in 15 of their last 17 away matches they managed just one goal. Sporting Cristal concede fewer than a goal per game at home over their last ten matches, so a big Alianza Lima performance is hard to expect. Even if the visitors can take advantage of defensive errors from the hosts, three goals from them seems unlikely. Our pick: Alianza Lima Team Total - Under 2.5 at 1.10*.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the calculations, the most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12.09%), 1-0 (8.55%) and 0-1 (8.13%). Of these, the 1-1 draw has the highest probability, while 1-0 and 0-1 have roughly equal chances.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Sporting Cristal are in excellent form and at home are capable of breaking down even Alianza Lima's solid defence. The hosts score regularly, often more than once, but do not always keep a clean sheet. The visitors, despite modest output on the road, find a way to score often enough. The fact that Alianza Lima have been involved in goal exchanges in six of their last seven away matches only reinforces that point. We therefore expect a match with goals at both ends, with both sides taking their chances. Predicted score: 1-1. Main bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
