NextGOAL tip: Cienciano -0.25 · 2 stars
The last time they met, back in April, Cienciano won 2-1, but this time the situation for the two sides is different in different ways. UCV Moquegua still cannot find a win in the league and it has been that way for several matches, while Cienciano have just picked up a draw in their most recent league game. UCV Moquegua have lost their last five, scoring just one goal across several matches, and the defence is leaking badly, especially before half-time, when they clearly concede more than at other times. As for Cienciano, they are not exactly on fire either, winning two of their last five, but their attack still creates chances more consistently and they clearly dominate possession. The game is likely to play out with Cienciano holding the ball and gradually applying pressure, while UCV Moquegua have to sit deep and wait to counter. If the hosts again concede late in the first half as they have been doing, the game could open the way for the visitors to lead before the break, and the second half should look different from the first, because the hosts will have to open up and fight, while Cienciano are already comfortable playing the closing stages.
