Sport Huancayo and Alianza Atlético meet in the Peruvian league in clearly contrasting form. The hosts closed their last match with a 2-1 win, extending their winning run, while the visitors just finished a game with a 1-4 defeat in the league. That match showed that Alianza Atlético's defence still has gaps to exploit. Sport Huancayo have been winning consistently lately, but most of those wins have been by a single goal. Their attack hasn't been overwhelming, and a defence that has conceded 14 goals in 12 matches isn't tight enough to shut out opponents every game. Meanwhile, Alianza Atlético have scored more than 24 goals in 12 matches but have also conceded 22. They are a team that opens up and trades blows, with a defence that leaks a fair amount. Their away games therefore often end with goals at both ends. The pattern of play at Sport Huancayo's home should see them dominate possession and apply more pressure, but Alianza Atlético carry a dangerous counter-attack and score frequently late in games. What to watch after kick-off is how solid the hosts set up defensively in the first half, because if they allow the visitors space and concede first, the game could open up into a trade of blows with goals flowing at both ends.
