<html> <head><title>Sport Huancayo vs Alianza Lima – Match Preview & Betting Insight</title></head> <body> <h2>Context and Stakes</h2> <p>Sport Huancayo welcome Alianza Lima to the high altitude of Huancayo with both sides angling for late-season leverage. Alianza sit fourth (21 pts from 13), but their travel form lags their home performances. Huancayo, 12th, have been erratic overall yet remain explosive at home where the thin air and familiar conditions tilt matches toward chaos and goals.</p> <h3>Team News</h3> <ul> <li>Sport Huancayo: Out – Aldair Ccorahua, Axel Chávez (injuries), Ricardo Salcedo (suspension), Hugo Ángeles (suspension). The latter two remove defensive steel and a starting fullback, a notable blow against Alianza’s wide threats.</li> <li>Alianza Lima: Long-term Juan Delgado absent; recent issue for Gianfranco Chávez (CB). Otherwise, the spine remains, with Renzo Garcés and Miguel Trauco expected to anchor the back line. In goal, it’s Viscarra or Campos; both are experienced.</li> </ul> <h3>Tactical Matchup</h3> <p>Huancayo typically morph between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 at home, pushing fullbacks and flooding the box with runners like Sanguinetti, Posito and Huaccha. The absence of Ángeles at right-back could hand Alianza’s left side—Trauco overlapping and Eryc Castillo’s direct dribbling—prime territory. Alianza, likely a 4-2-3-1 with Sergio Peña between the lines and Paolo Guerrero up top, will seek to slow the tempo early, then raise it after halftime where their numbers spike.</p> <h3>Numbers That Matter</h3> <ul> <li>Huancayo at home: 2.17 PPG, 3.33 GF, 1.33 GA; over 2.5 in 83% of home games, BTTS in 100%, home clean sheets 0%.</li> <li>Alianza away: 1.17 PPG, 0.83 GF, 1.17 GA; over 2.5 in 50% away.</li> <li>Second-half tilt: Alianza score 71% of their league goals after HT; Huancayo’s late push is notorious (home 76–90: GF 8, GA 1).</li> <li>Situationally: Huancayo equalize at home 75% of the time and average 2.33 PPG when conceding first at home.</li> </ul> <h3>Form and Momentum</h3> <p>Alianza’s last eight show a 31.5% jump in goals per game (2.13), powered by a refreshed attack—Guerrero’s penalty-box craft, Quevedo’s off-ball runs, Castillo’s ball-carrying. Yet away results remain patchy and low-event at times. Huancayo’s two recent home thumpings (5-2, 5-1) point to their capacity to overwhelm visiting back lines, though they can be loose defensively—now exacerbated by suspensions.</p> <h3>Altitude and Weather</h3> <p>Thin air in Huancayo (over 3,200 meters) often drags visiting legs late. With a cool, dry forecast (~13–15°C, partly cloudy), expect a brisk, attritional first hour, then a stretch run where the hosts traditionally surge and Alianza still carry threat in transitions.</p> <h3>Key Battles</h3> <ul> <li>Trauco/Quevedo vs Huancayo right side (no Ángeles): Alianza’s best route to chance creation.</li> <li>Peña vs Huancayo’s double pivot (no Salcedo): Gaps in front of the centre-backs could open for late arrivals and through passes.</li> <li>Sanguinetti between lines: Huancayo’s creative spark; drifts into half-spaces where Alianza’s fullbacks vacate.</li> </ul> <h3>Betting Outlook</h3> <p>The total looks shaded too low for Huancayo’s home profile. Over 2.5 at 2.00 stands out against an 83% hit rate at this venue and Alianza’s improved attacking trend. BTTS (1.70) is underpinned by Huancayo’s 0% home clean-sheet rate and 100% BTTS. With late-goal tendencies on both sides, Highest Scoring Half: 2nd Half (2.15) is a smart angle, particularly at altitude. For side bettors, Huancayo DNB (1.77) makes sense: their home production dwarfs their away form, and Alianza’s road record is average.</p> <h3>Player to Watch</h3> <p><strong>Javier Sanguinetti</strong> (Huancayo) – popping up consistently with goals and late arrivals at home, and priced generously at 4.50 anytime. For Alianza, <strong>Paolo Guerrero</strong> remains a high-leverage finisher (2.62 anytime), especially from set pieces and cut-backs delivered by Trauco/Quevedo.</p> <h3>The Oracle’s Verdict</h3> <p>Expect goals. The data, situational factors, and team news all point towards an open second half and both nets rippling. Totals and BTTS carry the value; the home DNB is a sensible cover given the altitude edge.</p> </body> </html>
