Cienciano - FBC Melgar

Peru Primera Division, Liguilla B

Yesterday’s over bet didn’t go as planned, and it wasn’t even close to delivering, but today, I’m going to try it again, on two more matches. First of all, we have ‘El Clasico del Sur’, the Southern Derby. This thing alone adds some more spice on the match, as both teams will be extra-motivated to win the match. Cienciano’s financial problems have finally ended, and things are looking much better than before, and the players are almost up-to-date with their payment, so they can focus fully on playing football. Already said a while ago that they were more than impressive even when the financial crisis was at it’s deepest point, and they’ve won my biggest respect, so now it’s time for them to keep going. And with Ibarra as a coach, they looked very offensive (normal thing, as Ibarra is also their striker and top-scorer), and that shouldn’t change too much today.
Melgar is an irregular team, but one thing is certain: they are good at creating chances, but also good at conceding, and usually, their matches end with several goals. Their problem is more mentally, as if they concede first, there are only slim chances to turn the match around. So it’s really questionable who will win today, and what side of the bed will Melgar wake up, but one thing is pretty sure: both teams will attack. Cienciano because they are at home, and they transform into an attacking machine when they are in Cusco, and Melgar because they can’t rely on their back line (received 27 goals in away games, the same number of goals scored by Cienciano at home), and the best defense for them is the offense. GL!

over 2.5 @ 2.05, 3/10 
Result: 0-1, LOST
