Alianza Lima vs Colo Colo Prediction

Alianza Lima and Colo Colo still have a shot at qualifying for the knockout rounds but they need to claim maximum points in this match for that to happen. Lima's games have tended to be cagey, with their last five games across competitions having produced less than three goals.

Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Alianza Lima 1-1 Colo Colo
