Sporting Cristal vs Dep. San Martin
Sporting Cristal took on the task of chasing the top of the domestic league after appearing in the Copa Libertadores. They will host Universidad San Martin in the ranks of the 13 Primera Division at the Estadio Alberto Gallardo.
First Sporting Cristal appeared at the Olympics headquarters and managed to silence the host through a single goal Cristian Palacios. Unfortunately, they still failed to qualify from Group C because the two top occupants were both two points ahead.
Outside of the disaster, Sporting Cristal is expected to remain in high motivation because it still occupies the runner-up position in the Primera Division. In fact, their home record was almost perfect with 5 consecutive wins and 1 draw.
Meanwhile, Universidad San Martin will appear more fresh without an international agenda. Therefore, they were asked to appear more convincing after the beginning of this month painstakingly won a score of 1-1 when facing the Sport Boys; the host could even equalize on 92 minutes through the action of Jefferson Carlos Portales Lavalle.
This weekend it seems they also have to fight hard after never winning in an away match with 2 draws and 4 defeats. Not to mention the fact that at this time they landed just above the bottom of the standings with just 2 points difference.
All of that pressure will be used by Sporting Cristal to win, especially after last year was forced to surrender with a score of 0-1 at Gallardo, the first defeat after winning five previous parties in a row.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.32
