Estadio Alejandro Villanueva will host the Liga 1 Apertura clash as table leaders Alianza Lima face mid-table Moquegua. Alianza Lima, led by Pablo Guede, dominate with a near-perfect record and standout defense. Moquegua, coached by Jaime Serna, have shown resilience but remain inconsistent. The most striking subplot: both teams have identical win rates (75%) over their last 4 matches, but the quality of opposition and performances differ drastically. Keep an eye on Erick Castillo, who’s in lethal scoring form for Alianza Lima, and Edgar Lastre, Moquegua’s creative midfielder coming off two goals and two assists in his last five games.
Hot stat: Alianza Lima humiliated Cusco 8-0 in their penultimate match—a margin rarely seen at this level.

Alianza Lima vs Moquegua prediction
We predict a clear Alianza Lima victory. TipsGG analysts rate Alianza’s home strength and recent form as decisive: nine wins in twelve, only five goals conceded all tournament, and a devastating 22 goals scored. Moquegua struggle away, leaking goals and often lacking midfield control. The market prices Moquegua as huge outsiders, and the data confirms the bookmakers’ logic.
Expect Alianza Lima to control possession, utilizing their 82% pass accuracy average in the last five games. Moquegua’s higher foul count (52 fouls in five matches) suggests they’ll be forced into last-ditch defending, risking yellow cards and disrupting their rhythm. Both teams average low red cards, but Moquegua’s discipline will be tested against Alianza’s quick forwards. Corners should favor Alianza due to their aggressive attacking phases and high shot volume.

Team Analysis
Alianza Lima continue their relentless march, recently edging Atletico Grau 1-0 after a historic 8-0 demolition of Cusco. Their last five show four wins, one defeat, and only one goal conceded in the wins. Fernando Gaibor and Erick Castillo have been instrumental—Gaibor brings midfield balance and scored twice in five games, while Castillo has five goals and two assists. Their pressing and compact lines limit opposition to very few clear chances.
Moquegua arrive off a 2-1 win over Cajamarca, yet that followed a narrow loss to strong side Cienciano and a solid win over Juan Pablo II. Their form remains streaky—three wins and two defeats in the last five, showing defensive lapses under pressure. Edgar Lastre pulls strings in midfield with two goals and two assists in the last five, but Moquegua’s collective shape falters when pressed by higher-quality teams.

- Moneyline Alianza Lima 1.19 | Moquegua 14.00
- Draw 7.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 1.57 | Under 2.5 2.40
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.20 | No 1.66
Bookmakers see Alianza Lima as overwhelming favorites, offering near-minimum odds for the home win. The draw and away win sit far above average, reflecting the gulf in quality and consistency. Over 2.5 goals is priced low due to Alianza’s prolific attack and Moquegua’s defensive issues.

Possible Starting Lineups
Alianza Lima possible starting eleven
- GK: Alejandro Duarte
- DF: Renzo Garces, Marco Huaman, Gianfranco Chavez, Mateo Antoni Pavon
- MF: Esteban Pavez, Fernando Gaibor, Jesús Castillo
- FW: Erick Castillo, Paolo Guerrero, Jairo Vélez
Alejandro Duarte remains the undisputed number one, with Garces, Huaman, Chavez, and Pavon forming a settled back line—Pavon and Chavez provide stability and passing options. In midfield, Pavez anchors, while Gaibor (two goals, one assist in five) supports the attack with Castillo bringing work rate. Up front, the trio of Erick Castillo (five goals in five), Guerrero, and Vélez carries serious threat. Alianza will likely stick to their trusted 4-2-3-1.
Moquegua possible starting eleven
- GK: Carlos Grados
- DF: Nicolas Amasifuen, José Luis Granda, Aldair Perleche, Kevin Moreno
- MF: Edgar Lastre, Cristian Mejía, Nicolas Chavez, Roger Torres
- FW: Jeferson Collazos, Yorman Zapata
Carlos Grados keeps goal with a regular defense featuring Granda, Amasifuen, Perleche, and Moreno—expect Amasifuen to overlap and add width. Lastre and Mejía are creative forces in midfield, while Chavez and Torres provide balance and ball progression. Collazos, Moquegua’s main striker, partners Zapata. Moquegua will also line up in a 4-2-3-1, hoping for solidity and quick transitions.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Alianza Lima win by at least two goals. All recent trends and stats favor the home side: dominant attack, reliable defense, superior passing, and home advantage. Moquegua’s defensive record and reliance on set pieces will not be enough to contain Alianza’s multi-pronged offense. Expect a strong, one-sided performance from the league leaders.
