Alianza Lima vs Sport Huancayo: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Lima finished third last season. However, in the Copa Libertadores, they were eliminated by Paraguay's 2 de Mayo. On the other hand, this allowed them to focus more on their domestic league, where they achieved the best result in the Apertura with 40 points—six more than Los Chankas, their main pursuer.
The team from Huancayo finished eleventh in 2025 with 48 points. This season's first half was a complete failure: four wins, four draws, and just sixteen points, which put them level with Atlético Grau and Juan Pablo II. However, they performed better in the cup this summer, unlike their current opponent.
The capital club averages 1.76 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.47. Their modest opponent scores an average of 1.24 goals but concedes almost double—1.82 per game.
