Cusco FC meet Sporting Cristal in the Peruvian league tonight, with the hosts sitting 9th while the visitors lead the table. This game comes down to whether the hosts can play their home game according to plan, because Sporting Cristal are on a five-match winning run. Cusco FC this season have scored 21 and conceded 18 in 12 matches; their attack is serviceable but their defence has clear leaks. Sporting Cristal, meanwhile, have scored 25 and conceded 12 in 12 matches and are the most balanced team in the league right now in both attack and defence. Although the hosts' recent form includes two straight defeats, at home they are still a team that plays with more aggression than usual. Cusco FC are expected to dominate possession and try to push the game high, while Sporting Cristal will likely sit back and wait to counter at speed. The first half may still be close, but in the second half the hosts should open up more heavily in search of a goal.
