Inconsistent Binacional have had a tough start to the year
Manager Claudio Bustamante took over at Binacional on 1st May 2025 and has inherited a team in bad form, so he will be hoping to see his charges begin to turn things around on Friday. According to our EM Deportivo Binacional vs Sport Huancayo prediction, this match could provide a turning point for the club if they manage to lift their performance.
Binacional are winless in their last five matches, losing to Atletico Grau 3-0, drawing 1-1 with Alianza Universidad and losing to Sport Boys 3-1. They sit 16th in the Liga 1 – Apertura 2025 table after picking up 14 points from their first 15 matches, but Gabriel Leyes has been a bright spot with three goals in six matches this season.
Huancayo are a solid team and will be tough to beat
Sport Huancayo manager Richard Pellejero took the reins at Sport Huancayo in January 2025 and has made a solid start to the campaign, taking the team into the top five of the Liga 1 - Apertura 2025 table. The team have been solid in possession, working the ball in a methodical way and creating chances through their patient build-up play. This EM Deportivo Binacional vs Sport Huancayo preview highlights that both sides will be seeking an important victory for their season momentum.
The last two head-to-head meetings between these two teams have ended with one win apiece, and the last time they met in Liga 1 2023 saw Huancayo take the win 3-1 at home. Huancayo come into this one having picked up a couple of draws in their most recent matches, first drawing away to Alianza Lima 0-0, before a 2-2 draw at home to FBC Melgar. Huancayo have never won on their most recent away trip to Binacional and there may be a psychological barrier to overcome, but they will be confident of taking the points.
Backing both teams to score is the smart play
Both teams have shown vulnerabilities at the back, but both have also been capable of finding the net. Huancayo have scored eight goals in seven away games this league season, and they will fancy their chances of getting a goal on Friday. This EM Deportivo Binacional vs Sport Huancayo prediction suggests that betting on Both to Score looks the smart option.
Sport Huancayo is the bookmaker’s favourite here at 2.13, with Binacional at 3.14 and the draw at 3.26. The current EM Deportivo Binacional vs Sport Huancayo odds reflect Huancayo's advantage in form and league position. Huancayo are the better side, higher up in the league and in better form, so they should be winning this one, but Binacional have drawn two of their previous two home games and could make this a close game.
This clash of styles should be an interesting game of chess with a lot of momentum shifts, as Huancayo will look to control possession, whilst Binacional will try to frustrate and hit on the break. For those looking at EM Deportivo Binacional vs Sport Huancayo betting tips, Huancayo will be a tough nut to crack and we will back them to grind out a win on the road.
