Six of the last ten meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.34, 76% on the records (Alianza Atletico: over 1.5 goals in 4 of 5 at home; Universitario de Deportes: over 1.5 goals in 5 of 5 away). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.26. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee.
