Match description
Sport Boys have a clear advantage in home metrics: average possession 56%, only 0.25 goals conceded at home on average and as many as 75% clean sheets, whereas Melgar concedes 2.0 goals on average away and has no clean sheets on the road. The hosts create more chances (on average 16 shots and 4.25 on target per match, xG 1.51) than Melgar away (11.5 shots, 3.5 on target, xG 1.21), indicating better control and quality of chances for Sport Boys. In the last five matches Sport Boys scored 6 goals and average 0.8 points per game (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses), while Melgar scored 4 goals, failed to win any of their last 5 fixtures and average 0.6 points per game, showing the visitors’ poorer form. At the same time Melgar are more efficient with shots (11% conversion vs 8% for the hosts) and their average xG against away is 1.91, so individual situations can still yield them a goal. Considering Sport Boys’ advantage in possession, number and quality of chances (xG 1.51 vs 1.21) and a significantly better home defence (0.25 vs 2.0), I expect a home win, although I do not anticipate a high-scoring game.
