Deportivo GarcilasovsAlianza Atletico

Home Fortress

Deportivo Garcilaso is set to host Alianza Atletico at the iconic Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, where they have been a formidable force. With a home record of 2 wins and 4 draws this season, they have not tasted defeat in their last six home matches. This fortress-like performance at home gives them a psychological edge, especially against an Alianza Atletico side that has struggled on the road, failing to win any of their last seven away games.

Recent Form and Head-to-Head

While Deportivo Garcilaso has not lost in their last ten games, their head-to-head record against Alianza Atletico is less flattering, with only one win in their last five encounters. However, Alianza Atletico's recent form has been shaky, with a loss against Universitario De Deportes and a general struggle to find the net away from home, having failed to score in four of their five away matches this season.

Key Players and Tactical Insights

Deportivo Garcilaso's Pablo Agustin Erustes, with 22 goals, will be a key player to watch, supported by Kevin Armando Sandoval Laynes, who has provided 14 assists. Their ability to score, particularly between the 31st and 45th minutes, is a crucial factor. Alianza Atletico, on the other hand, relies on Miguel Agustin Graneros, who has scored 19 times, but their defensive 5-4-1 formation might limit their attacking opportunities.

Prediction and Conclusion

Given Deportivo Garcilaso's strong home form and Alianza Atletico's away struggles, the prediction leans towards a home victory. The likelihood of both teams scoring seems low, considering Alianza Atletico's poor scoring record away from home. Therefore, expect Deportivo Garcilaso to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a win, with a clean sheet being a strong possibility.
