• Sport Boys 1 – 0 Asociación Deportiva Tarma (4 Aug 2025)
• Ayacucho FC 0 – 0 Sport Boys (30 Jul 2025)

Despite their shaky form, the Boys have shown glimpses of defensive resilience, keeping two clean sheets in their last five games. However, goal-scoring has been a challenge, with an average of just 0.4 goals per match in this period. Conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game further highlights their defensive issues.

As they prepare for Comerciantes Unidos, they’ll need to tighten up defensively and find a way to convert their chances.

Sport Boys Key Players

Sport Boys’ top scorer Luciano Nequecaur, with 1 goal this season, will be crucial in their attack against Comerciantes Unidos. With his height and aerial prowess, Nequecaur will look to capitalise on set pieces and crosses into the box.

Midfielder Fidel Martinez also plays a critical role, acting as the creative hub for the team. His vision and passing ability will be essential to break down Comerciantes Unidos’ defense.

Defensively, Hansell Riojas will need to marshal the backline effectively to limit the threat posed by Comerciantes Unidos’ forward Matias Sen, who has netted 3 goals this season.

Expected lineup for Sport Boys:

• Goalkeeper: Steven Rivadeneyra
• Defenders: Emilio Saba, Hansell Riojas, Matías Almirón, Cristian Carbajal
• Midfielders: Hernán Da Campo, Jorge Rios, Carlos Lopez, Fidel Martinez, Oslimg Mora
• Forwards: Luciano Nequecaur

The individual battles, particularly between Nequecaur and Comerciantes Unidos’ defense, could significantly influence the outcome of this match.

Sport Boys Suspensions & Injuries

Sport Boys come into this match with a couple of notable absentees due to injuries. Renzo Salazar is sidelined with a meniscus injury, and his return date is still uncertain. This means that the team’s defensive options are somewhat reduced, potentially affecting their ability to keep a solid backline.

Additionally, Erick Gonzales is out with a shin injury and is expected to return in late September 2025. His absence in midfield could impact Sport Boys’ ability to control the tempo and distribute the ball effectively.

Fortunately, Sport Boys have no suspensions to deal with, so manager Juan Carlos Cabanillas can rely on a fairly settled squad besides the aforementioned injuries. Nevertheless, these absences might force Cabanillas to adjust his tactics and rely more on his fit players.

Key midfielder Fidel Martinez is crucial in linking play between defense and attack, often looking to exploit gaps in the opposition’s defence with incisive passes and creativity.

Nequecaur, their solitary forward, acts as the focal point of the attack. This formation allows Sport Boys to maintain a compact shape defensively while transitioning quickly into attack, particularly down the wings through Lopez and Mora.

The defensive line, marshaled by Hansell Riojas, will need to be particularly vigilant against Comerciantes Unidos’ striker, Matias Sen.
