Form and standings
Jorge Araujo has built a solid structure since taking charge at Juan Pablo II College on 18 May 2026, but he needs to add a bit of a sting to his team's play. Juan Pablo II come into this game in 13th place with 5 points from their 5 games, 4 places and 3 points ahead of ADT in 17th with 2 points, both teams are in trouble and need to find a way out.
Tactics and recent results
Juan Pablo II's last two games have seen them grind out a 0-0 home draw with Atletico Grau, before suffering a 2-0 loss away to Cusco FC. It's a run that reads solid but lacking in a killer instinct and Araujo will know that against a mobile ADT side, his team are going to have to be patient and pick their spots. ADT are also not the most inspiring team to watch, but they do tend to play with more tempo, pressing higher up the field and getting the ball wide and into the box.
Francisco Usucar has only been in charge at ADT since 29 June 2026 and they've picked up 2 draws from the last 2 games, coming off the back of a 1-0 home loss to Deportivo Garcilaso. This is a real chance for Juan Pablo II to push the ADT into the relegation places as the visitors have taken 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their last 5 games.
ADT are looking for goals and Juan Pablo II wants the ball back, so we should see a classic transition game.
Juan Pablo II have the edge
Juan Pablo II are the stronger team and they have the better of the record in this fixture, winning 3-2 away in the Liga 1 – Apertura and remaining unbeaten in the last 2 meetings (W1, D1).
The odds reflect the form of both sides, with Juan Pablo II coming in as slight favourites at 2.08, ADT at 3.3 and the draw at 3.5. Both teams to score at 1.62 looks the sharper side of the market and over 2.5 goals at 1.8 is more likely than a Juan Pablo II runaway victory. Juan Pablo II have scored only 2 goals in 2 home games in Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 so we shouldn't expect a flurry of goals, but we will have a tense and tight night on Saturday.
- Juan Pablo II's Paolo Reyna has been the team's most prolific creator with 2 assists in 4 Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 appearances, while ADT's Jhair Soto adds a spark with 1 assist in his only appearance in the Liga 1 – Clausura 2026.
- Juan Pablo II have in Josue Torres their most potent goal scorer with 2 goals in 4 Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 matches.
- Torres has scored 2 of Juan Pablo II's last 4 goals, so he's the pick to score at any time on Saturday.
- ADT's Jeremy Canela leads their goal-scoring charts with 2 goals in 5 Liga 1 – Clausura 2026 games, he has supplied 2 of ADT's last 3 goals, so he's our pick to hit the net any time on Saturday.
