Sport Huancayo and Cusco FC meet often in the Peruvian league, and in the last six meetings Cusco FC have come away with the win four times, including the most recent one in April this year when Cusco FC won 2-1. This time, though, Sport Huancayo come into the match as the 4th-placed team on a run of five straight wins, not the side that just got pegged back the way they were in earlier meetings. Sport Huancayo have won five in a row, but those wins have mostly come by a single goal or two. Their attack scores steadily but they also concede in plenty of matches, while Cusco FC have been up and down, winning three and losing two of their last five. They just lost 1-2, and their defence conceded in every match they lost. The hosts play at home where they often avoid conceding easily in the first half, while the visitors have slightly more possession based on their average over the last ten matches, but put fewer shots on target than the hosts. If Cusco FC score first the game changes immediately, because Sport Huancayo will have to open up and chase the equaliser, turning it into a trade of blows, which suits the visitors better. But if the hosts score first, Cusco FC still have enough attacking quality to come back, and the game is likely to finish with a scoreline that is not too far apart.
