Sporting Cristal Women vs Alianza Lima Women: match prediction on 20 September 2026

A home win for Sporting Cristal Women is priced at 3.06. The market places the probability at 29%, while my estimate stands at 56%. That is a 27-point divergence. The bookmakers have not accounted for the disparity in shot quality between the two sides. They are pricing the visitors too heavily on possession without seeing the lack of penetration.

Cristal occupy third place with 21 points, sitting one ahead of Alianza Lima on 20. The visitors arrive on a perfect five-match winning streak, netting 15 goals and keeping two clean sheets. Cristal have won four and lost one in their last five outings, a run that includes a 0:2 home defeat to Atlético Andahuaylas.

There is only one meeting in the record books from 30 May 2026. Alianza Lima won 1:0 in that fixture. The teams are separated by one point, and a previous victory does not guarantee dominance in a league where margins are so fine.

Cristal average 1.9 xG, Alianza 1.1. Cristal average 9 shots on target per game against Alianza’s 3.33. The visitors control 66% of the ball but convert only 29% of their shots on target. Cristal hit 55%. The market looks at possession and assumes control, but control without shots on target does not win matches. They are missing the efficiency gap.

The conclusion holds if Cristal keep creating chances. If Alianza score early and settle for a draw, the prediction breaks down. They are comfortable running the clock down, and a stalemate would suit their style. Alianza’s low block and set-piece threat remain the only variables.
