View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Melgar has recorded BTTS in 80% of its matches this season and maintained the same 80% rate across its last 5 games; FC Cajamarca has also registered BTTS in 80% of its five most recent appearances. Neither team has kept a single clean sheet this season, which clearly increases the likelihood that both sides will find the net. The hosts average 1.8 goals and 4.2 shots on target per match, while the visitors concede an average of 1.7 goals and face an xG of 1.69. Cajamarca averages only 0.8 goals per game this season and has failed to score in 50% of its matches, but its recent xG stands at 1.19 compared with Melgar's recent 1.21 xG conceded, making a goal for the visitors a realistic scenario. BTTS - Yes is therefore the most likely outcome, although Cajamarca's lower offensive consistency limits the strength of this selection.

The 1.5-goal line was exceeded in 90% of Melgar’s matches and 70% of Cajamarca’s, while both teams have scored at least once in every match this season. The hosts are also in good form: they have scored 9 goals in their last five appearances, with an average xG of 2.02 compared to the 1.54 xG recently allowed by the visitors. Cajamarca failed to score in 50% of their matches, so their attacking projection remains limited to 0.9, while Melgar have not kept a clean sheet at any point this season. The expected total of 2.6 goals supports Over 1.5 as the safest pick, although the 2.5 line is considerably more balanced.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
