The Peruvian top flight continues with Sport Boys and Alianza Lima sitting right by one another in the table after three games in the Clausura side of Liga 1 with this game taking place at the Estadio Miguel Grau.

Alianza Lima finished top of the table in the Apertura side of things, with them avoiding a draw in the 18 outings.

This also saw the club win 14 times and lose four with the most goals scored in the division (37 from 18 games). They also let in just 16, which was only bettered by Universitario in third.

Towards the end of the Clausura phase, Lima managed to win the final two games after a 3-2 victory over Deportivo Garcilaso before a 2-0 victory at home to Atletico Grau.

Hernan Barcos scored from the spot in the latter game, as Jairo Concha scored in the first half too. Against Garcilaso, Barcos scored a brace before a finish from Aldair Rodriguez.

In the Copa Libertadores - despite doing so well in the league - things have been very different.

The club lost four of the six games after a recent loss to Atletico Mineiro, while they managed to win just one game and draw the other one. In fact, Lima netted just three goals in this group stage campaign.

Since the move into the Clausura phase, Lima have managed to draw with Sporting Cristal last time out, although they did defeat Deportivo Municipal 1-0 after a finish in the second half from Jesus Castillo Pena.

As for Sport Boys, their start to the Clausura phase has been much better than the Apertura one, as they secured just five wins in that time, losing 10 games and drawing the other three.

This saw the club score just 13 goals - only Cantolao scored fewer. Sport Boys also managed to let in 26 goals from 18 games and finished all the way down in 18th.

Now, however, they are sitting seventh in the Clausura phase after beating Alianza Atletico 2-1 away from home thanks to a goal each from Luis Enrique Carranza Vargas and Christian Vazquez.

After this, the club went on to lose to Cantolao once more and beat Union Comercio 1-0 after a penalty deep into stoppage time from Jesus Barco.

Forebet predicts a win for Alianza Lima and for the game to see under 2.5 goals, despite the improved form from Sport Boys.
