Los Chankas host Sport Boys at Estadio Los Chankas in Andahuaylas in what shapes up as a competitive Clausura opener. The hosts carry a strong home advantage and a commanding season record of 12 wins from 20 matches, yet they arrive off a 1-3 loss to Sport Huancayo in their most recent outing. Sport Boys, on the other hand, are riding back-to-back wins heading into this fixture, including a clean-sheet victory over Comerciantes just days ago.
The two sides have met four times recently in Liga 1, splitting results between wins and draws, which keeps the outcome genuinely open. Watch Sport Boys striker who has been central to their recent attacking output, and keep an eye on Los Chankas’ creative midfield presence who has driven most of the home side’s attacking play through the season.
Hot stat: Sport Boys have won both of their matches in the last 30 days without conceding a single goal, suggesting their defensive shape is currently tight heading into hostile territory.

Los Chankas vs Sport Boys Prediction
Los Chankas are the clear favourites here, and with good reason. Playing at home in Andahuaylas, at altitude, gives them a significant physical edge over visiting sides. Their 60% win rate across 20 matches this year is the most telling number in this matchup. Sport Boys have shown impressive short-term form but their season win rate of just 32% from 22 games tells a more cautious story. The head-to-head record over the last four meetings shows a competitive but balanced series, with Los Chankas winning the two most recent home encounters.
We predict a Los Chankas win, with the value sitting firmly on the home side at odds around 1.55. The altitude factor at Andahuaylas is real and documented, regularly disrupting visiting teams’ fitness and pressing capacity. Sport Boys’ recent form is encouraging but their overall season output does not support backing them at 5.25 or higher.
Both teams have shown the ability to score in recent fixtures, and the head-to-head history includes goals on both sides. A low-to-moderate corner count is expected given the tactical nature of Peruvian Liga 1 football at this stage of the season.

Team Analysis
Los Chankas come into this match in mixed form over their last five outings. They recorded a strong 3-0 win over Santos FC and a 1-0 victory against Ayacucho, but sandwiched between those was a 2-2 draw with UTC and a 0-3 defeat at the hands of Alianza Lima. Their most recent match, a 1-3 loss to Sport Huancayo, is a concern, particularly given Sport Huancayo’s own patchy recent form. Coach Walter Paolella will need a response from his squad. Across the season, though, Los Chankas have been the most consistent Peruvian side outside the top bracket, and their home record remains a key asset.
Sport Boys arrive with genuine momentum. They beat Comerciantes 1-0 and AD Cantolao 3-0 in their two most recent matches, the latter being a dominant performance. Before that run, a 2-2 draw with San Martin and a 1-0 win over Comerciantes Unidos showed they can grind out results. Their 0-0 draw with UTC earlier in the sequence reflects a team capable of controlling matches when needed. Coach Carlos Desio appears to have steadied the side after a difficult run earlier in the season, and the back-to-back clean sheets are a positive signal.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Los Chankas the Favourite
- Moneyline Los Chankas 1.55 | Sport Boys 5.40
- Draw 3.80
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The market consensus puts Los Chankas at roughly 60% implied probability, which aligns with the bookmaker average. At odds of around 1.55, the home win is fairly priced but still represents value given the altitude advantage and the gap in season win rates. Sport Boys at 5.25 to 6.00 reflects their status as genuine underdogs, and to be honest, those odds look about right given their 32% win rate this year. The draw at 3.60 to 4.00 is worth noting given the head-to-head history, which includes two draws from four meetings.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Los Chankas are the pick here. Their home environment in Andahuaylas is one of the most demanding venues in Peruvian football, and Sport Boys have not shown the season-long consistency to flip that advantage. The four-match head-to-head series is tight, with goals shared evenly at 5-5, but Los Chankas have taken the last two Liga 1 encounters at home. Sport Boys’ current form deserves respect, and their clean-sheet streak makes the BTTS market less straightforward, but the overall weight of evidence points to a Los Chankas win. We predict a 2-1 home victory, with both teams getting on the scoresheet in what should be a competitive but ultimately home-dominated 90 minutes.
