Sporting Cristal - Sport Huancayo

Peru Primera Division, Descentralizado

Sporting Cristal, the best team in the league at the moment, returned to their awesome form after losing in Cusco against Real Garcilaso, and right now they are on 4 consecutive won games, and for sure they would like to add the 5th one. And they can do this quite easily, if they play to their full potential, as Huancayo is just not a team that can compete with the big guns, when playing as visitors. At home they have a big advantage in the form of altitude (that's why they have a 8-2-2 record as hosts), but if you take that away, you get a below-average team, that is usually struggling to get some points from other stadiums. Their away record of 1-3-8 is proof of that. They also have one of the poorest defense when it comes to playing away, with 21 goals conceded, and if we combine that with Cristal's awesome attack (which scored 30 goals in their 12 home matches - 49 in total), we have a match that should easily go the right way. Also, in their last mutual games played in Lima, Cristal won all of them, covering the handicap, and taking the goal difference to 10-2 in just 3 matches. GL!

Cristal (-1.5 AH) @ 2.08, 4/10
Result: 2-2, LOST
