Similar, but superior sides should still deliver to Garcilaso
Asociacion Deportiva Tarma and Deportivo Garcilaso will be desperate for 3 points when they face off in Sunday's Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 contest because both have made poor starts to the season. Tarma sit 17th with 0 points from 2 matches, while Garcilaso are 16th with 0 points from 1.
ADT come into this clash on the back of a 4-game losing streak following their home defeat to Universitario de Deportes and away loss to Sport Boys in the Clausura. Their best recent result was the 4-1 home victory over Juan Pablo II College, but that was followed by a 1-0 defeat away to Sporting Cristal Lima in this competition.
Tactical outlook
Garcilaso should get their noses in front against an opponent they know well Francisco Usucar's men play in a compact, direct style with one striker, looking to counter-attack and transition quickly at both ends of the field. Sebastian Dominguez sets Garcilaso up to press high up the field and has deployed flexible 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formations to try and force turnovers, which they exploit well in transition.
Odds and prediction
The odds here look about right with the home side slightly in front at 2.42 with Garcilaso 2.88 and the draw 3.25. Garcilaso are in better form than their hosts and have the better recent head-to-head record, so should be more likely to avoid defeat, even if a tight, tense game is more likely.
The Garcilaso away form in Clausura 2026 shows 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, while the hosts are yet to draw and have lost their 1 home fixture to date. But Garcilaso haven't really got going on the road in this season either, averaging 0.00 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game, so it's probably best to lean toward under 2.5 goals at 1.73 rather than take the both teams to score no bet at 1.9.
Key players
A 1-0 win for Garcilaso looks good in the correct score betting as, although ADT have conceded 2 goals in 1 home game in Clausura, garcilaso have yet to find the back of the net on the road.
- Jeremy Canela leads ADT scoring in this comp with 1 goal in 2 games, while Jordan Guivin has chipped in with 2 goals in ADT's last 5 games across all comps.
- Christopher Olivares has been the most lethal Garcilaso attacker, hitting 3 of their 8 goals in the last 5 games in all comps.
