Home form: FC Cajamarca are without a win in two home fixtures in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026, posting a draw and a loss.
Away form: Universitario de Deportes have split their two away fixtures in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026, registering one win and one defeat.
Momentum: Universitario de Deportes will bring the stronger momentum into Sunday's game, having won three of their last five in all competitions (D1, L1).

FC Cajamarca have played well in patches under Celso Ayala, who has been in charge since 25th March 2026, but they have yet to find a consistent rhythm in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026. The 13th placed hosts sit on four points from four games, while the visitors come into this one in eighth spot on seven points.

Universitario de Deportes arrive as the clear favorites at 1.73, while FC Cajamarca are a 5.0 outsider and the draw is at 3.45. That's understandable as the visitors have been in much better form of late, winning three of their last five in all competitions, and they have an important edge in this fixture.

Héctor Cúper's side have a solid structure and they have more bite in attack since the Argentine tactician took over on 11th May 2026. On paper, it should be a close game because FC Cajamarca are compact and pragmatic, but they will look to clog up the middle and spring the transitions while Universitario will attempt to suffocate mistakes in a structured, organised block.

Cajamarca are coming off a disappointing 0-2 home defeat to Sport Huancayo in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026, but they will be buoyed by a lively 4-2 away win over FBC Melgar earlier today. Mauricio Arrasco leads the way for FC Cajamarca with one goal in three appearances in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 and will have to nick a chance or two if Celso Ayala's men are to have any chance of troubling the favorites.

The hosts have scored just two goals in their two home matches in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026, so their cutting edge has been blunt, and that should leave them vulnerable against the pace and precision of Alex Valera.
Valera has two goals in four in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 and three in their last five-game run, so back him to lead Universitario to victory if he is given any kind of service.

Universitario to win and Under 2.5 goals will be the main selection for Sunday's matchup, with both at 1.73, while Both Teams to Score – No at 1.77 will come in as a secondary wager.
