Huancayo’s home solidity should see off underperforming UTC
Sport Huancayo have been average in the Liga 1 – Apertura 2025, sitting 8th in the table with 27 points from 16 games, while UTC de Cajamarca have been worse, standing 14th with 18 points from 16 games.
Huancayo’s last 5 fixtures have brought mixed results (W2 D2 L1), while UTC have suffered the same sequence (W2 D1 L2). Their two most recent results were a 2-2 home draw with FBC Melgar and a 1-0 away defeat against Binacional, both good and respectable results by any measure. The Sport Huancayo vs Utc de Cajamarca preview highlights UTC de Cajamarca's previous 3 results: a 0-2 loss at home to Atletico Grau, a morale-boosting 2-1 win away over Alianza Universidad and a 1-1 draw at home against Sport Boys.
The bookies are clearly on the side of Sport Huancayo at 1.40 odds here, with UTC de Cajamarca at 6.00 outsiders at best. To make a Sport Huancayo vs Utc de Cajamarca prediction, both teams like to press in their own way, but Richard Pellejero has installed a compact, disciplined system since taking over the team in January 2025 and they are much more solid and structured in their approach. Pablo Bossi has worked on instilling a clear identity to his UTC side since he took over in February 2025, but the players have a looser style and this has made them defensively vulnerable this season.
UTC are winless in 5 head-to-heads
The last 5 head-to-heads between these two sides have been quite evenly poised, with Sport Huancayo winning 2 and drawing 3 (W2 D3 L0). Cajamarca are without a win in that sequence.
For this Sport Huancayo vs Utc de Cajamarca prediction, Marlon De Jesus, with 4 goals, is the focal point and leading striker for the home team, while Jarlin Quintero is UTC’s danger man with 6 league goals.
Sport Huancayo average 1.75 goals scored and 1.25 goals conceded per home match in Liga 1 – Apertura 2025 and are unbeaten in their last 3.
Sport Huancayo to win to nil at 7/4 – good odds
UTC’s away form is poor and they have no wins in their last 5 against Huancayo. A 1-1 result in Cajamarca during Liga 1 – Clausura 2024 proves that both sides can dig in when they need to, but we believe Sport Huancayo will push for a victory as this fixture could be crucial to their push for continental qualification.
At 1.40, ‘Huancayo to WtN’ looks generous given the odds-on favourites have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their 8 at home in Liga 1 – Apertura 2025 while UTC have lost 5 of their 8 on the road and shipped 23 goals. For those seeking Sport Huancayo vs Utc de Cajamarca betting tips, UTC may get a point here, but we’re going with the hosts to secure all 3 and we’re happy to take the big Sport Huancayo vs Utc de Cajamarca odds on offer.
