Ayacucho vs Universitario de Deportes tips and predictions

Intriguing clash in Liga 1

It won't be a walk in the park but Universitario de Deportes are predicted to run out with the win.

After a number of less than dominant displays, the hosts will be motivated here. Ayacucho's defending at home has not been lock-tight and some performances have shown some fallibility. They conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 5 home matches so they are going to have to tidy things up before this one.

Universitario de Deportes have won 8 of their last 16 trips away. They've scored two or more goals in 10 of their last 19 away fixtures and if they deliver their best they can enjoy further success here. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 17 away matches. However you cut it, it should be a good game and if they give a hundred and ten percent then the away win looks like a good pick.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side has the brighter start. It would be crazy to argue that the favourites are a banker here. It's perfectly credible that the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It isn't difficult to see a clean sheet here. The No BTTS bet seems sensible.

The head-to-head shows that Universitario de Deportes have won 2 of the last 3 games between these two.
