Match preview: Melgar vs Cusco

Melgar and Cusco are set to clash at La Universidad Nacional San Agustín Stadium in the second round of the Primera Division. Historical encounters at this stadium favour the visitors, with the last three matches seeing Cusco win once and draw twice. Notably, in the most recent fixture at this venue, on 27 January 2024, Cusco FC clinched a victory with a score of 2-3. Goals from Pablo Lavandeira (66’) and Bernardo Cuesta (19’) for Melgar, and Lucas Colitto (7’) and Juan Tévez (41’ and 71’) for Cusco, confirm a competitive history.

Team analysis: Melgar

The home side enters this match following a victory in their opening match against UTC Cajamarca, finishing 1-2. In the league, Melgar has amassed 17 points from 27 available, securing 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 9 home matches. Scoring in the first half, with 1-0 being the most common scoreline (recorded in 4 of 9 matches), illustrates their strategy. Although Melgar’s defence has been suspect, conceding goals in their last 10 fixtures, their attack has found the net in 9 of those games. Out of the 19 matches played, they have conceded first on 7 occasions but have managed to turn the score around in 4. Their last 20 home games have also seen 6 of their 13 goals conceded occurring between the 31st and 45th minutes.

Melgar debuted successfully in the Clausura and will be keen to build on that momentum at home, where they usually perform admirably. Expect them to adopt an offensive approach, pressing the opposition from the start. The aim is to maintain strong form and deliver consistent results to rise up the table. Despite being favourites, they face a formidable opponent in good form, necessitating increased focus. Solid defence and clinical finishing will be pivotal in this encounter.

Team analysis: Cusco

The away side arrives for this second round after a 2-0 win over Alianza Lima in their opener. Cusco’s last 9 matches have seen them earn 5 victories, 1 draw, and 3 losses, totalling 16 points from 27 available. Their attack has made regular appearances on the scoresheet, succeeding in 8 of the last 10 games in this league. Matches away have also been high-scoring, with 7 out of 9 featuring over 2.5 goals. In 19 games played so far, they have managed to recover from a deficit in 2 of the 5 instances where they conceded first.

Cusco also commenced their campaign positively and seeks to maintain an unbeaten streak that now extends to 10 matches. Playing away, the team will look to approach the match with confidence, aiming to exploit spaces and control the match through possession. They will focus on maintaining defensive integrity while capitalising on quick transitions. Visiting Melgar presents a key test for their consistency, where a draw could be a satisfactory outcome, although they are undoubtedly aiming for more.
