**Alianza Lima's mired in a rough patch, but Palestino's form is somehow worse** — this friendly is basically a coin flip between two teams treading water. 🔄

Both sides are struggling with consistency. Lima grabbed a draw against CS 2 de Mayo but also got spanked 2-0 at home by Cali. Palestino couldn't handle Grêmio (0-2) or Montevideo City Torque (0-1), though they at least salvaged a 1-1 against Riestra.

Key storylines:

- **Alianza Lima** without P. Guerrero (muscle injury) will lean on F. Girotti and K. Quevedo up front to spark any attack
- Palestino's backline (D. Zúñiga, V. Espinoza, E. Roco) has been leaky — Lima's wide threats in **L. Advíncula** and **E. Castillo** could find room
- Midfield battle between **E. Pavez** and F. Gaibor for Lima versus B. Carrasco and M. Araya will decide tempo

Expected lineups:

- **Alianza Lima**: A. Duarte, C. Carbajal, R. Garces, G. Chávez, L. Advíncula, E. Pavez, F. Gaibor, J. Archimbaud, E. Castillo, F. Girotti, K. Quevedo
- **Palestino**: S. Pérez, D. Zúñiga, V. Espinoza, E. Roco, I. Garguez, B. Carrasco, M. Araya, F. Montes, S. Gallegos, A. Martínez, N. Da Silva

Prediction:

**Alianza Lima 1–1 Palestino**. Lima has a slight edge at home, but neither team's been sharp enough to pull away. 🤝
