Leon de Huanuco - Alianza Atletico

Peru Primera Division, Descentralizado

2010 finalists, Leon de Huanuco is showing slight signs of recovery, at least at home, despite the fact that they are still very far away from the form showed last year. But, with 2 consecutive wins at home, and Copa Libertadores way behind them, they can begin to hope again for a top-half finish, maybe even for a qualification for a continental cup, as the points differences aren't too high. Full team available for them, and I'm sure they are looking forward to add 3 more points to their tally, against the weakest team of the league. Alianza Atletico has only managed to win a single game as visitors, and have scored just one goal in 6 matches. And lately, they can't seem to win a match anywhere, since they haven't won for 5 rounds (since they released 5 players for beink drunk early in the morning in a club). And let's not forget about the altitude factor, as Alianza Atletico is from Sullana, a coastal city, and they usually find it hard when playing at high altitude (last year, they lost both matches in Huanuco, while this year they were trashed 4-0 by Cienciano). Was tempted to take the -0.75 handicap, but with my recent luck, it'll just end with a half won probably, so I just going for a simple home win, despite the low odds. GL!

Leon @ 1.60, 4/10
Result: 4-0, WON
