Alianza Lima vs. Sport Boys: Critical Match and Manager Status Uncertain
Alianza Lima faces Sport Boys in a crucial match tonight at 8:00 p.m. at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva, with both teams aiming for victory. The game is broadcast live via Liga 1 MAX, available on multiple platforms including Movistar TV, DIRECTV, and streaming services. Alianza Lima's recent form includes two wins and one draw in the current season, but their early elimination from the Copa Libertadores has cast doubts over the team's performance and the future of coach Pablo Guede. Guede's position is under scrutiny as internal sources suggest that the club's higher management is considering a change, especially after a disappointing start to the season. Guede's tactical approach includes key players like Paolo Guerrero and Luis Ramos, but results so far have not been convincing. Sport Boys arrives with their own challenges, including a coach on the brink of dismissal, Jaime de la Pava, and key defender Hansell Riojas sidelined. The match is seen as a 'do or die' scenario for Guede, with possible replacement Wilmar Valencia already in consideration. The game is expected to be intense, with over 26,000 tickets sold and a significant fan presence. Previous encounters between the teams have favored Alianza Lima, with recent victories in 2025, 2023, and earlier seasons. The outcome of this match could influence Guede's future at the club, with internal debates ongoing about his continuity.
