Cienciano vs Universitario de Deportes Prediction: Home Side Favorite to Win

Cienciano will be taking on Universitario de Deportes in the upcoming fixture of the Peruvian Primera Division, which will be played at Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. Going in the game, Cienciano stands 4th with 3 wins and 11 points from the 5 games played in the contest so far. On the other hand, Universitario de Deportes stands 9th with 2 wins and 7 points in the competition. If Universitario manages to upset the home team, it will open channels for Universitario to enter the top 5 standings. 

Going in the game, Cienciano will look forward to playing with an attacking mindset and continuing their undefeated run. In their last game, Cienciano managed to defeat Ayacucho FC (0-1), which stretched down to the wire, and Danilo Ezequiel managed to score the winning goal in the 94th minute. Cienciano has scored 5 goals in its last 5 games, averaging 1 goal per game. If Cienciano continues with the same pace, we can expect them to at least score a goal.

Going in the game, Universitario de Deportes leads the head to heads statistics against Cienciano with 9 wins. Though Universitario started the season on a high, their defeats against Cesar Vallejo (1-0) and Deportivo Municipal (0-1) have affected their overall standings. With an above-par goal-scoring average of 1.4 goals per game, Universitario de Deportes will look to apply themselves fully and win.
