Head-to-head statistics Atletico Grau - Melgar
Atletico Grau Team Overview
Atlético Grau are a solid mid-table side at present. Their recent form has been decent: they have won their last two league matches, first against Comerciantes Unidos (1-0) and then UT de Cajamarca (3-1). After that, however, they were knocked out of the national cup. They drew 2-2 with Sport Boys in normal time but lost on penalties. In terms of style, it is worth noting their distinctly low-scoring football. Matches involving this side average just 1.83 goals, which is extremely low. On top of that, Grau are one of the best teams in the league when it comes to goals conceded at home, letting in just 0.73 per game.

FBC Melgar Team Overview
Melgar are sitting in the upper reaches of the table, but their recent form has not been at its best: two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five matches. They drew 1-1 with Alianza Lima not long ago. Given the club's ambitions, the current picture is hard to call satisfactory. The team are capable of considerably more. Yes, in terms of attacking output Melgar are among the leaders in the competition, scoring 1.74 goals per game. Away from home, though, that figure drops to 1.45. It is also worth noting that Melgar defend reasonably well on their own half when playing away, conceding 1.18 goals per game. It is quite possible that the team will opt for a measured, pragmatic approach here. Opening up carries risks.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Two sides meet whose defensive capabilities can be considered extremely solid. Atlético Grau, mindful of their opponents' status, are unlikely to change their approach, preferring a deep defensive line and counter-attacking football. The visitors, hampered by the away factor, will probably struggle to produce anything spectacular going forward. And at the back, Melgar will likely impress as well. Our editorial team recommends betting on Total Goals - Under 2.5.
