Real Garcilaso - Cienciano

Peru Primera Division, Descentralizado

This should be an interesting high-altitude duel. Real Garcilaso has been the surprise package of the Primera Division so far, and they seem to have the potential to keep it going, especially with the high altitude from Cuzco, the city where they are based (so yes, this will be a local derby). And when 2 teams that play at altitude meet, we usually have a lot of goals. Real had some nice results, and also plenty of goals this season, scoring 6 goals in 3 matches, two of them ending in over. Cienciano didn't have a bad start themselves, but losing at home last week means that today they will be out for vengeance, and an offensive plan is expected. And with 5 goals scored in 3 matches (also, two overs), we should be having the right setting for a goal-fest here. So, as a short recap: both teams playing quite offensively so far; this will be a big local derby, so the win has an even bigger importance; both teams used to playing at high altitude, which usually provides with entertaining games. Also, as a reference, last year they played in the Torneo Intermedio, which Garcilaso won 3-1 (although it was a 95% fix from Cienciano, who had a poor financial state and wanted to avoid traveling in the next round). GL!

over 2.5 goals @ 1.82, 3/10
Result: 1-0, LOST
