Peru Primera Division, Descentralizado
Sport Boys are trying hard to prove that their stay in Primera Division hasn't been by accident, and they also are trying to lose their status as a typical home team (even though an average one). And so far so good for them... only 8 points in 7 matches, but 7 of them have been made as visitors. However, this is probably just a temporary form, as they don't have neither the squad, nor the quality to keep it going. And their only real success on the road can be considered the one at Sport Huancayo, due to the altitude, although Huancayo are nowhere near the team that took 3rd place last season. Other than that, the teams they played can't be considered good teams, and their second match at altitude was a fail, 1-2 against Cienciano. Leon started strong once again, and with so many problems with the top-guns (Alianza, Universitario, San Martin), they are gunning for the title. Lost one home match against Cristal (probably one of the best teams in the league currently), while they won their other 2 games, 1-0 with Inti Gas and 3-2 with Aurich, despite going into HT with a 0-2 deficit. Better squad for Leon, good form, also a good history against Boys (won all 3 matches played in Huanuco, goal difference 8-1), and a very hard to win in stadium. So my money goes on the home handicap. GL!
Leon (-1 AH) @ 1.78, 3/10
Result: 2-0, WON
