Union Comercio - Coming off a Win Against CD UTC (WLWLL)

Going in the matchup against Cusco FC, Union Comercio is coming off a win against CD UT Cajamarca (1-0) in which Oscar Barreto scored the only goal for Union in the 64th minute of play. With just two wins in the last five matches played, Union will be looking for the upcoming matchup. Though Union hasn’t won over Cusco in the last three outings, the upcoming matchup will be an opportunity to grab three win points. With just 4 goals scored in the last 5 matches played, Union averages 0.8 goals per game. Excelling with an under-par goal scoring average is not sufficient for winning matches comprehensively. Hence, Union Comercio is likely to suffer and struggle against Cusco FC.
