📋 Team News: Universitario Deportes

Thanks to a fully injury-free squad to pick from, the Universitario Deportes manager Fabián Bustos has zero fitness worries at all before this match.

We believe Universitario Deportes seem most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 formation, starting the game with Miguel Vargas, Cain Jair Fara, Williams Riveros, Anderson Santamaria, Andy Polo, Martin Perez Guedes, Hector Fertoli, Jairo Concha, Jose Carabali, Lisandro Alzugaray and Alex Valera.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Universitario Deportes must be fancied to put one past this Nacional de Football side, but that is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Nacional de Football after the 90. Hopefully this is a good one.
