This trend is likely to continue as they face CD UT Cajamarca, especially given the importance of maintaining form ahead of their next match against Cusco FC.

Sport Huancayo Key Players

Sport Huancayo’s focal point in attack is Marlon De Jesus, their top scorer this season with 4 goals. His physical presence and eye for goal make him a constant threat to opposition defenses. He’ll be up against CD UT Cajamarca’s determined backline, where the battle between De Jesus and central defender Piero Serra will be one to watch.

In midfield, Nahuel Isaías Luján serves as the creative spark. His vision and passing ability play a crucial role in transitioning the ball from defense to attack. Luján’s duel with Cajamarca’s midfield general Freddy Oncoy could dictate the game’s tempo.

Defensively, Johan Madrid and Yonatan Murillo have been key in maintaining Sport Huancayo’s stability, contributing to their recent clean sheets. Their task will be to contain Cajamarca’s top scorer, Jarlin Quintero, who has bagged 6 goals this season.

Expected lineup for Sport Huancayo:

• Goalkeeper: Angel Zamudio
• Defenders: Johan Madrid, Juan Barreda, Yonatan Murillo, Hugo Angeles
• Midfielders: Diego Carabano, Ricardo Salcedo, Miguel Carranza, Nahuel Isaías Luján, Josuee Herrera
