In the upcoming fixture of the Peruvian Primera Division, Matchday 11, Universitario will be up against Club Atletico Grau at the Estadio Monumental U Marathon in Ate District of Peru. With Universitario in the top five table standings, the upcoming matchup will be an interesting one to witness. According to the table standings of today, Universitario stands 4th with 5 wins and 16 points, whereas Atletico Grau stands 14th with 3 wins and 11 points. The last time these two sides played against each other, Universitario de Deportes won (2-0). Since 2020, Universitario de Deportes has won every match played against Grau. 

On the opening day of Copa Sudamericana, Universitario de Deportes defeated Gimnasia LP (0-1), in which Alexander Succar scored the only goal in the 85th minute of play. With the likes of Cabanillas, Riveros, and Di Benedetto in the lineup, Universitario de Deportes will look to start positively and stretch the winning run forward. Across all competitions, the home side has remained unbeaten in the last five matches. Talking about the scoring, Grau has scored 9 goals in the last five matches played, averaging 1.9 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Universitario has conceded only 2 goals in the last five matches. Hence, the upcoming matchup will be an opportunity for Universitario to win and achieve three win points. 

Going in the matchup, Club Atletico Grau is coming off a fantastic win against Sport Boys (3-0), in which Neri Ricardo, Ray Sandoval, and Manuel Tejada scored goals. Club Atletico Grau has managed to score at least score a goal in 4 of the last 5 matches played. Secondly, Grau has scored 6 goals, averaging 1.2 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Grau has conceded 7 goals, averaging 1.4 goals per game. With the presence of Oslimg Mora, Luis Alvarez, and Paulo de la Cruz in the lineup, Grau is likely to produce a competitive outing against the home favorite. 

Going in the matchup, Universitario de Deportes will be looking to stay unbeaten and maximize the goal-scoring opportunity against Gru. Considering the present game form of Universitario and the past head-to-head matchups, the upcoming fixture is likely to favor the home side. The match total is expected to be over 2.5 goals, as both teams have scored goals in most of the past matches. I am expecting a final scoreline of 2-1 at the end of 90 minutes of play.
