In the run-up to an exciting match in Peru’s Liga 1, Cusco FC is expected to hold the advantage over Los Chankas. Odds are favoring Cusco with a 69% implied probability of victory, reflecting their strong performance in past games. Cusco FC currently stands as the overwhelming -222 favorites to clinch the win according to bookmakers. In contrast, Los Chankas are positioned as the underdogs with odds at +540, indicating a lower probability of success.

The upcoming game underscores the significance of team performance trends and tactical planning. Cusco FC recently secured a 2-1 away victory against Cienciano, enhancing their credentials ahead of this match.

Notably, in the last encounter between these two teams, Los Chankas emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Cusco.

The betting community shows strong interest in this clash, particularly in the Asian Handicap market, where Cusco FC is backed at -1.25 with odds of +102. To realize a full return on this bet, Cusco needs to win by at least two goals, while a one-goal margin would return half the stake. “This bet can be backed with confidence,” asserts one sports betting analysis site, estimating a 55-60% probability of success, slightly higher than what the odds suggest.

Further intrigue comes from betting options such as Over 2.5 Goals, which is currently priced shorter than Under 2.5 Goals, and the Both Teams to Score market where “Yes” bets stand at -154. The flexibility provided by bookmakers allows bettors to tailor their stakes, combining different selections using a Bet Builder feature available for Liga 1 matches.

Currently, Cusco sits fifth in the league table with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses, accumulating 29 points. Meanwhile, Los Chankas are positioned ninth, collecting 21 points from 6 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses.
