FBC Melgar - Alianza Atletico

Peru Primera Division, Liguilla B

Melgar seems to be safe in the general standings, and only a disaster could see them mixed in the relegation battle. And with a win today, they will be 99% sure of staying in the Primera Division in 2011 as well. And a victory here is more than possible. They seem to have found some pace, and their performances lately have been improving, being on a run of 3 consecutive matches without losing, following a spectacular 3-3 draw at home with Sport Boys and two big surprises, as they won away at leaders Universidad San Martin and at the home fortress of Cienciano. Meanwhile, Alianza Atletico doesn't seem to be improving at all, and their last place in the standings is more than deserved, as they are playing awful in almost every game. Especially in away games, they are even poorer, as they haven't managed to win a single match, while receiving 31 goals in 15 matches, and their away draws came from matches against equally poor teams. Melgar should also have an ally in the altitude, and Alianza are going to have to suffer even more. All in all, I expect Melgar to continue their domination against a team which they have already beaten twice this season. GL!

Melgar (-1.25 AH) @ 1.94, 4/10
Result: 3-3, LOST
