Union Comercio vs FBC Melgar Prediction: FBC Melgar will display a superior play

Union Comercio will face off against FBC Melgar as part of a round 5 matchup in the Peru Liga 1 Clausura at Estadio Municipal Carlos Vidaurre Garcia Stadium. Union Comercio will aim to snap their winless streak of fourteen games, while FBC Melgar will aim to secure a win following their recent victory to maintain their top seat in the league table. Can the home team secure a win against the top-ranked team in the league table?

Union Comercio were inferior in their last five games, in which they could not secure a win. They had tied against Carlos Mannucci and Cienciano, while they suffered defeats against Sporting Cristal, Los Chankas, and Alianza Lima. During these matches, they have scored four goals while conceding nine. Due to their poor performances, they are now ranked below the league table in 18th, having gained 1 point in 3 games. Playing on their home soil in this match, they will aim to put an end to their last six games on their home soil without a win.

After picking a 1-0 home win against U. de Deportes, FBC Melgar returned to winning ways during their last five games. Before the match, they suffered a defeat against Alianza Atletico while they were victorious against Cesar Vallejo, Cusco, and Deportivo Garcilaso. During these matches, they have scored thirteen goals while conceding seven. Having gained 9 points in 4 games, FBC Melgar are in 1st place in the league table at the promotion Liga 1 play-offs.

In their last eight games, Union Comercio and FBC Melgar have scored against one another in six games, while in three games, more than two goals were recorded. However, both teams tied in four games, Union Comercio failed to win, while FBC Melgar won four.

Union Comercio have not won any of their last fourteen games, while FBC Melgar won 12. Therefore, I don’t expect the home team to secure a win, while I expect the visiting team to crack a victory in this match, and I expect the visiting teams to score multiple goals. However, since both teams have scored against one another in their most head-to-head matches, we can anticipate that both teams will find the net, even though the home team were underdogs lately.
