Alianza Lima vs Alianza Atlético: match statistics

Alianza Lima has a clear home advantage: they average 2.67 goals per match and register an xG of 2.04 while conceding just 0.56 goals, with 7.44 shots on target per game. Alianza Atlético away average is only 1.0 goal scored, 1.7 goals conceded, xG 1.41 and 5.0 shots on target, with shot conversion of 7% versus the hosts' 14%. The home side are unbeaten at home (0% defeats) and win 89% of home matches; in the last 5 fixtures Alianza Lima scored 9 goals and averaged 2.2 points per game, whereas the visitors scored 6 goals and had only 0.8 points per game while conceding 11 goals. Additionally, the hosts have 0% matches without scoring versus 20% for the visitors and control possession (59% vs 43%), translating into more high-quality chances. Considering the higher xG (2.04 vs 1.41), more shots on target (7.44 vs 5.0) and significantly better defense (0.56 vs 1.7 goals conceded), I predict a home win.

The 'both teams to score' scenario looks more likely: Alianza Atlético has a seasonal BTTS rate of 70% and 80% in the last 5 matches, meaning both sides scored in 7 of their last 10 fixtures. Alianza Lima at home has a BTTS of 44% for the season (60% in the last 5), scores on average 1.56 goals for the season and 1.8 in the last five, while opponents concede on average 1.7 goals for the season and as many as 2.2 in the last 5 (the visitors conceded 11 goals in 5 matches), which increases the chances of a home goal (the hosts scored 9 goals in the last 5). The visitors also create chances — they average 1.0 goal for the season and 1.2 in the last 5, their xG for is 1.41 versus Lima's xG against of 1.27 in the last 5, and shot stats are similar (5.33 vs 5.0 on target), suggesting both teams have goal-scoring potential. Considering the visitors' high BTTS (70–80%), the hosts' superior goals in the last 5 (9 vs 6) and the league average BTTS of 57%, I assess BTTS probability at 70% vs 30% and recommend a 'BTTS - Yes' bet.

The model based on average xG (Alianza Lima xG_for 1.54, Alianza Atlético xG_for 1.41) and opponents' defensive xG (xG_against home 1.18, away 1.48) yields an expected 1.51 goals for the home side and 1.30 for the visitors, totaling ~2.81. From a Poisson distribution with λ=2.81 the probability of at least 2 goals (Over 1.5) is approximately 77%, at least 3 goals (Over 2.5) about 53%, and Over 3.5 around 31%. Support for the Over also comes from the last 5 matches: the home team scores on average 1.8 goals, the visitors 1.2 (combined 3.0), while Alianza Atlético concedes on average 2.2 goals in the last 5; the hosts register 5.33 shots on target and an 11% conversion versus 5.0 SOT and 7% for the visitors, which increases scoring likelihood. Seasonal figures confirm a propensity for goals — Over 1.5 occurred in 56% of the home team’s matches and 80% of the visitors’, whereas Over 2.5 is weaker but still a moderate signal (44% and 50%). Given the expected 2.81 goals and the strong signal for Over 1.5 (~77%), I recommend betting on Over 1.5 as the strongest selection.

Alianza Lima holds a clear overall advantage: on the season they average 1.56 goals per match and win 44% of games, while Alianza Atlético wins only 20% of matches and concedes 1.7 goals per match on average. At half-time the hosts are most often level — Alianza led at the break in 3 of 9 matches (33%), and the score was tied at half in 5 of 9 matches (56%); half-time goals average 0.67 for the home side versus 0.3 for the visitors. After the break Alianza Lima performs better offensively: they average 0.89 goals scored and 0.33 conceded in the second half, and record 56% of second-half wins (compared to 30% for the visitors), indicating an ability to produce a turnaround after half-time. xG is 1.54 for the hosts versus 1.41 for the guests, shots on target 5.33 vs 5.0 and conversion 11% vs 7%, so the quality of chances favours Alianza Lima. Therefore the most likely scenario is a draw at half-time and a home win at full-time (X/1).
