Sporting Cristal - Universidad San Martin

Peru Primera Division, Liguilla A

Both teams are pretty much scoring machines (well, San Martin more than Cristal, but they can also turn the score loose when they get in gear), and with an important match ahead of both of them, I’m pretty sure we’ll see a nice match and a few goals. Sporting Cristal needs to put behind them their recent  bad run of results, if they are really serious about their Libertadores qualification objective (even though it’s almost impossible, being 13 points behind the 3rd place, but the Sudamericana spot is quite within reach). San Martin are likely to want to keep a hold on their 7 points advantage over Alianza Lima, especially now when they are going to fight on two ‘battlegrounds’, both in the Liguilla and in Copa Sudamericana. And with them being in the Liguilla A, with Alianza Lima and Universitario, any points are up for grabs, so they have to make the most out of every match. The goal scoring chances should also be boosted by the quality of the strikers, as the first two top-scorers in the league belong to this 2 teams: Ximenez from Cristal has 18 goals score, while Arriola from USM is close by, with 17 scored (Alemanno from USM is also worth mentioning, as he also has 10 goals scored), and all of them, along with Vitti (9 goals scored) are reported as starters tonight, so I’m expecting several goals from them, especially since the last 5 matches between this 2 teams have ended in overs.GL!

over 2.5 @ 2.04, 3/10 
Result: 0-1, LOST
