Sporting Cristal and three reasons why they can win against Alianza for League 1 I bet you

The old Nacional will serve as the stage and the light blues want to regain shine after a dark episode – 7-4 defeat on aggregate against Always Ready. They will try to steal the spotlight in a blue and white party, this Saturday at 8:00 pm with refereeing by Kevin Ortega, although it does not qualify as consolation for many Rimenses.

Beating Grau by the minimum was not enough, nor would the victory against Alianza compensate for the international failure, but Cristal has an ideal opportunity to take flight towards the Apertura title.

Enderson Moreira will bet big again, with the lesson learned in Bolivia, and must move his chips carefully so as not to lose more credit.

Sporting’s formula is the same: pressure, quick transitions, explosion on the flanks and looking for the scorer by all means. Go out and propose and not give up style, which cost so much due to care at the height. The priority is another: pull the strings of a hot match, regain confidence, be master of the times and not lose your head again. Victory depends on your spine.

Ignácio can be Ignácio again

If there is a need in Cristal, it is to control its main weakness: fragility in defense. After conceding goals in almost all of their appearances, the vulnerability of the Bajopontine team depends on Ignácio Da Silva, their reference at the back. On a good night, the center back is impassable and spreads confidence on the last line. Leonardo Díaz would once again be his duo, with Nicolás Pasquini on the left and Jhilmar Lora on the right. Behind another wake-up call: Renato Solís.

The last touch of Yotún

Whether as a midfielder, playmaker or second striker, the task for the Rimense captain will be to try to serve or convert in the last meters of Alianza. Less busy on the mark and closer to the rival goal, he must connect with the light blues. The dirty work will fall to Gustavo Cazonatti, another of the celestial pillars, and Martín Távara will be there to clean up. He urges a more aggressive steering wheel and defense, that does not over rev, Always Ready to eliminate danger.

He has the goal magnet

Ready to punish any mistake and take advantage of successes will be Martín Cauterruccio, scorer of 17 goals in eight games. The Uruguayan does not want to wake up from the dream he lives in Sporting Cristal and now he wants to be Alianza’s nightmare. He is not satisfied, especially after his first game of the year without scoring. As if that were not enough, he bombs the attack with two fighter planes: Santiago González and Joao Grimaldo.
