Grau vs U. de Deportes Prediction: I expect a defensive performance

On Sunday, 21 of July, 2024. Grau are scheduled to play against U. de Deportes in the Peru Liga 1 Clasura- Round 2 at Estadio Campeones del 36 Stadium. On their home soil, Grau will hope to snap their recent winless streak of two, while U. de Deportes will build on their recent winning record and claim a victory while playing on the road. Please consider the information provided below when making your betting decision.

Grau have recorded one loss, one win, and four ties during their last five encounters. They suffered a defeat against Cesar Vallejo while they tied against Deportivo Garcilaso, Sport Huancayo, and Alianza Atletico in the opening matchup. However, they were victorious in their match against Cusco. In these matches, they have scored five goals while conceding two.

After a resounding 6-0 win against Carlos Mannucci in the opening matchup last timeout, U. de Deportes snapped their winless streak of three during their previous five encounters. Before the match, they suffered defeats against Cesar Vallejo and LDU Quito and tied against Colo Colo. However, they emerged with a victory against Los Chankas. During these matches, they have scored ten goals while conceding three.

Grau have failed to win any of their last five encounters, while U. de Deportes have won four, and both teams are tied in one game. However, Grau and U. de Deportes scored against one another in two matches while scoring more than two goals in two games.

The home team will aim to prevent a loss early on their home soil, following their recent tie matchup, while the visiting team will avoid conceding early in this match. Therefore, I expect a defensive performance at halftime, which could lead to a possible tie at halftime. However, even though we anticipate that both teams may settle for a possible tie at halftime, I still expect the visiting team to build on their previous scoring performance. Therefore, I expect the visiting team to find the net at the 2nd halftime, and I expect them to snatch a narrow win.
