Home is where the heart is for Alianza Lima
Alianza Lima will face Deportivo Garcilaso in Lima this Sunday night in a close game that the home side will look to dominate.
The hosts, Alianza Lima, are sitting in a solid 3rd place in the Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 with 11 points from 5 games and have built a strong foundation ahead of the title run in.
Pablo Guede has been developing his team since taking over on 12 December 2025 and his versatile back three-to-back four shape with a high-intensity, quick wide game is proving very difficult to break down.
They have won 3 of their 5 games in the Clausura and their two most recent matches were a 1-1 draw away to Sport Boys and a 1-0 home win over CD UT Cajamarca, so it looks like the momentum is there for Alianza Lima to carry on their good run.
Eryc Castillo has been the danger man for Alianza Lima so far this season with 5 goals from 5 matches in the Clausura, he has also scored 5 of his side's last 8 goals in their previous 5 games.
Deportivo Garcilaso to be an awkward customer
Form and table
Deportivo Garcilaso have also enjoyed a good start to the Clausura season, they sit top of the table on 13 points from their first 6 matches, so the top of the Liga 1 table is very tight.
Coach and approach
Lisandro Greppo has led Deportivo Garcilaso since 7 August 2026 and has done a very impressive job so far with a more conservative and perhaps more pragmatic approach.
His side have been very compact and efficient and have grinded out results, much like in their two most recent results – a 0-0 away draw to Cienciano was followed by a 4-1 win at home against Cusco FC.
Key player
Beto da Silva has been a key figure in Garcilaso's success so far with 3 goals in 6 Clausura matches, but he has scored 3 of his sides last 9 goals in their past 5 games.
Prediction
This looks like a close spot for the hosts, but with the odds and home advantage in their favour, the íntimos should be able to gain the upper hand.
- The away side are a tough team to play against and it's anyone's guess how this will play out in terms of a correct score, but we're going for a narrow 1-0 Alianza Lima win.
- Under 2.5 goals at even odds appeals in what is likely to be a tight and tactical game, especially considering Garcilaso have averaged 0.33 goals scored and 0.33 conceded in 3 away games in the Clausura so far.
- Alianza Lima are 1.36, Deportivo Garcilaso are 9.7 and the tie is 4.3 so the odds are heavily on the side of the íntimos, which is only fitting as the market maker's price the game.
