What to expect
We expect about 1.2 goals from Alianza Lima and 0.8 from Universitario de Deportes, so Alianza Lima come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.0 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.
Our pick: Alianza Lima to win. Alianza Lima are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.2-0.8), and we make them about 44% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 43 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.00, which works out at about 50 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
