Copa Sudamericana’s Group A heats up as Alianza Atletico host Macara at Miguel Grau Stadium in Callao. The stakes remain high for both sides: Macara sit at the top of the group, while Alianza Atletico are desperate to climb from the bottom. What stands out in this clash is the contrast in recent form and goal conversion. Valentin Robaldo, who has netted three of Alianza’s last four goals, becomes the focal point for the home side, while Macara’s midfield organization around Jose Cazares promises control and discipline.
Hot stat: Macara’s eight goals from their last five matches double Alianza Atletico’s output, signaling a significant attacking edge.

Alianza Atletico vs Macara prediction
We predict a tight contest but see Macara as the best value for the win or double chance. Their recent form (43% winrate in the last 30 days, seven wins from 17 games this year), combined with a superior attack and defensive organization, outweighs Alianza Atletico’s struggles. Alianza’s home record shows vulnerability, losing twice in their last three. Macara, in contrast, come off a confident 3-0 win and have shown resilience against stronger opponents.
Expect fouls and tactical yellow cards—Alianza’s recent matches average 11 yellow cards over five games, Macara just 8. Both teams average over 60 total shots in their last five, suggesting plenty of attacking intent. Pass accuracy favors Macara (81%), indicating better ball retention, while Alianza’s higher foul count hints at potential defensive lapses or frustration if they fall behind. Ball control and effective transitions will likely give Macara the edge, especially if Alianza’s discipline issues persist.

Team Analysis
Alianza Atletico recent games review
Alianza Atletico snapped a winless run by defeating Universitario de Deportes 2-1 in their last outing, with Robaldo again finding the net. Before that, they struggled to create clear-cut chances, losing to Comerciantes Unidos and Sport Boys by narrow 0-1 scorelines. In the Copa, a 1-2 home defeat to America de Cali and a 1-1 draw at Tigre leave their qualification hopes in jeopardy. Defensive frailty and lack of clinical finishing define their recent performances.
Macara recent games review
Macara routed Libertad 3-0 last time out, capitalizing on set pieces and a more direct style. The 0-4 defeat to Universidad Catolica exposed some defensive gaps, but wins over Barcelona SC (3-1) and Tigre (1-0) showed their tactical flexibility and ability to grind out results. Their lone group stage win over Tigre and a draw against America de Cali have established them as group leaders. Macara’s blend of controlled possession and pressing from midfield ensures opponents rarely dominate.
