FBC Melgar vs Comerciantes Unidos Prediction & Betting Tips (7 September)

FBC Melgar must win to stand any chance of progressing from this tie, and this is something that FBC Melgar have managed in six of their previous eight home games in the Liga 1. Comerciantes Unidos, by way of contrast, have suffered three defeats in four away matches at this level recently, whilst they have triumphed only once in six attempts on the road of late.

Comerciantes Unidos are on a roll when it comes to their involvement in top-flight fixtures containing over 2.5 goals, with 20 of their last 20, including ten in a row of late, subscribing to this particular scoring model. The picture has been a similar one in FBC Melgar home games recently, with the deadlock being broken at some point in 20 of their previous 20 league matches.

Comerciantes Unidos have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six Liga 1 matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving FBC Melgar, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
