Head-to-head edge leans to Asociacion Deportiva Tarma
Match overview
This looks like a tight contest but the Asociacion Deportiva Tarma have the head-to-head advantage here and should edge it or at least avoid defeat when they entertain Sport Huancayo on Sunday. ADT are currently 17th in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 after winning none of their first 6 matches and collecting only 2 points, but they have a superior record to the visitors in their recent head-to-heads.
The Vendaval Celeste have won 2 of the most recent 3 meetings and were 1-0 winners at Huancayo in Liga 1 - Apertura five months ago, while the Rojo Matador have failed to win either of their last 2 road head-to-heads, so this venue does not suit the visitors. ADT are 2-1 up in the overall series, and the home team have enough to take the points this weekend.
Tactics and key players
- Francisco Usucar sets up his men in a compact 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-2-1 formation with a big emphasis on control in the centre of the pitch and game plans tailored to the opposition.
- Jeremy Canela is ADT's dangerman, with 3 goals in 6 Clausura games, including 2 of the side's 3 strikes across their most recent 5 matches.
Huancayo hit on the counter-attack
Sport Huancayo are in mixed-to-poor form, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches across all competitions and a 2-game losing streak. Richard Pellejero has set up his team in a back-three system with wing-backs and they transition through the thirds quickly with a more direct and physical style.
Ronal Huaccha is a good outlet, having grabbed 3 goals in 6 Clausura matches, including 3 of Huancayo's 6 strikes in their most recent 5. But at 1.62, Both Teams to Score – Yes looks a tidy alternative market.
ADT are the narrow favorites for this match-up with 2.28 on offer and Huancayo are a long shot at 2.94 and the draw is 3.45, but the home side have been struggling for wins at their own ground. Their recent form is woeful with 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses across all current competitions. Their most recent 3 outings saw a 1-1 home draw with Los Chankas, a 4-1 away defeat to Sporting Cristal and a 0-2 home loss to Club Deportivo Moquegua.
A close encounter
The clash of styles will be interesting with ADT probing through midfield and Huancayo looking to hit wide and fast in transition. ADT have conceded 4 goals in 3 Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 home games and that should be a vulnerability the Rojo Matador can exploit, but the hosts have the better of the H2H record and can nick it.
