Peru Primera Division, Liguilla B
Again, crazy odds here. Cesar Vallejo might be in bad form lately, but to give them odds of 6-7 for a win against a mediocre team is just crazy. First plus that should be for UCV in relation to their previous games, is the fact that they now have a new coach, so I think we can count on a 'new coach' effect. After that, we can see that they still have something to play for. Even though the final is far away, despite Leon losing yesterday, UCV are in the best position to catch Alianza Lima for the last spot for Libertadores, as they could close the gap to just 3 points if they win and Alianza loses. Huancayo has nothing to play for, as they have no relegation issues, and no hopes for a continental competition, so they'll just play the remaining matches for fun. Of course, that could be an advantage for them, as they'll be playing without pressure. So, for sure, their only big advantage will be the altitude, but Cesar Vallejo is a team that doesn't usually suffer when playing at heights, and can perform there better than other teams. Both teams should have pretty much their strongest team available (new UCV coach doesn't seem to want to rotate or replace some players), so it should be an equal match. In this case, the odds on Huancayo are a big joke, and I'll gladly take the generous handicap on Cesar Vallejo. GL!
UCV (+1 AH) @ 1.92, 4/10
Result: 1-0, VOID
