The upcoming clash between Sport Boys and Cusco FC in the Peruvian Primera División promises to be a balanced and entertaining encounter. Both sides arrive with contrasting dynamics but share the same goal — to climb higher in the standings and consolidate their form as the Apertura phase progresses. With Sport Boys currently sitting 16th and Cusco FC in 6th place, the match offers an intriguing mix of urgency and ambition. The hosts will look to end their winless streak, while the visitors aim to maintain their consistency away from home.


Sport Boys’ Recent Form and Key Stats


Sport Boys come into this fixture after a goalless draw against Universitario on May 12, a result that extended their run to three matches without a win. Their campaign so far has been irregular, with 3 victories, 4 draws, and 7 defeats, totaling 13 points. The team has scored 13 goals and conceded 19, reflecting a side that shows determination going forward but struggles to maintain defensive solidity.


In their last five matches, Sport Boys have recorded 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, averaging 1.0 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game. Despite their attacking intent, they have found it difficult to convert chances consistently. At home, they tend to be more competitive, with only 2 of their last 10 home matches ending with fewer than 0.5 total goals — a sign that their games often feature scoring opportunities.



  • Ranking: 16th in Primera División

  • Last 5 matches: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 defeats

  • Average goals scored: 0.9 per match

  • Average goals conceded: 1.4 per match

  • Under 0.5 goals in 2 of their last 10 home games


Sport Boys’ main challenge remains consistency. Their attacking play is energetic and vertical, but defensive lapses have cost them valuable points. The home crowd will expect a reaction, especially after a series of tight results that have left them near the bottom of the table.


Cusco FC’s Recent Form and Key Stats


Cusco FC arrive in this match following a 1-1 draw against Los Chankas on May 10. The team has shown resilience in recent weeks, registering two wins and two draws in their last four outings. With 21 points from 6 wins, 3 draws, and 5 defeats, Cusco FC have been one of the more balanced sides in the competition, capable of both scoring and conceding with regularity.


In their last five matches, Cusco FC have achieved 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 defeat, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. Their attacking line has been productive, but defensive vulnerabilities persist — they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 15 away matches. However, their ability to remain composed in the first half is notable, as they have avoided losing before halftime in 23 of their last 25 games.



  • Ranking: 6th in Primera División

  • Last 5 matches: 1 win, 3 draws, 1 defeat

  • Average goals scored: 1.3 per match

  • Average goals conceded: 1.6 per match

  • At least 1 goal conceded in last 15 away matches

  • Over 0.5 goals in the second half in 20 of their last 22 matches


Cusco FC’s main strength lies in their tactical discipline and ability to stay competitive throughout the match. Even when playing away, they tend to find the net, though defensive gaps often prevent them from securing clean sheets. Their recent consistency suggests they will approach this game with confidence, looking to exploit Sport Boys’ defensive fragility.


Sport Boys vs Cusco FC Analysis and Prediction


Historically, meetings between these two sides have produced goals, with the last head-to-head ending 3-0 on November 7, 2025. Overall, Sport Boys have won 2 of the last 5 encounters, while Cusco FC have claimed 3 victories, with an average of 1.4 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per match in this fixture. These numbers suggest a tendency toward open, attacking football whenever they meet.


Given the current form of both teams, this match is expected to be evenly contested. Sport Boys will rely on their home advantage and attacking drive to break their winless run, while Cusco FC’s balanced approach and steady performances make them a tough opponent to overcome. Both teams have shown a pattern of scoring and conceding regularly, which points toward a lively contest with opportunities at both ends.


From a statistical standpoint, the likelihood of both teams finding the net is high. Sport Boys’ aggressive style often leaves spaces at the back, and Cusco FC’s record of conceding in every recent away match reinforces the expectation of goals. The visitors’ ability to recover from setbacks and maintain composure before halftime could also play a crucial role in shaping the outcome.
