UTC Cajamarca vs Union Comercio Betting Tips and Predictions

UTC Cajamarca have turned around their disappointing Apertura phase, where they finished just 4 points above the relegation zone, to a 4th placed standing in the Clausura, just 6 points behind Melgar and playoffs in the overall league table with a game in hand. UTC Cajamarca are the joint top in-form side, alongside Sport Huancayo, having taken 10 points from their last 5 matches (W3 D1 L1). Home field advantage is likely to please the hosts, Cajamarca, but their challengers are no easy opponents and in decent form away from home.

Union Comercio have slipped in recent weeks, taking just 1 point from their last 3 fixtures (D1 L2). UTC Cajamarca overtook them both in the Clausura table, where Cajamarca now stands 2 places and 1 point better off than Comercio, and in the overall standings, where Cajamarca is ahead on goal difference alone. Union Comercio have proved tricky opponents on the road in the past weeks, however, taking 7 points from their last 3 matches.

UTC Cajamarca bounced back from a home defeat with a 1-0 win away to overall 3rd placed side Alianza Lima. Cajamarca’s 2-1 defeat at home to Alianza Atletico ended a run of 9 matches unbeaten on their home turf (W4 D5). While Union Comercio have an impressive string of 2 wins and a draw from their last 3 matches on the road, all 3 of these results ended with under 2.5 goals (two 1-0 wins and one 1-1 draw) in performances where they defended heavily and without much possession of the ball or many shots on target. 2 of the last 3 of UTC Cajamarca’s home matches follow the same low scoring trend (one 0-0 draw and one 2-0 win). Combining that analysis with the statistics below, we expect under 2.5 goals at 3/4 with bet365 to be the safe bet and a final score of UTC Cajamarca win 1-0 at 5/1 with bet365 to be a top value correct score bet.
