Expert Analysis

Injuries and suspensions can affect the overall outcome and we use this information as well as the latest form guide. The same applies to the stats so that we can get the best understanding of how things might pan out.

Key Melgar vs Universitario stats:

  • Melgar have won 9 consecutive home matches
  • Melgar have won 9 of their past 10 home matches
  • Melgar have scored 2 or more goals in 8 of their past 10 home matches
  • Universitario have failed to win any of their last 3 away matches

The visitors look opposable on the 1x2 market, so we’re going to make the home team our tip for this Liga 1 clash. You can currently get 1.85 for this selection which looks value.

Melgar are an even bigger price if you’re backing them on the Asian Handicap although you might need them to win by two goals or even three goals depending on your selection.
