Sport Boys Team Analysis

Sport Boys Recent Performance

Let’s delve into the recent form of Sport Boys, who have found themselves struggling a bit lately. Their last five matches in the Primera Division Apertura haven’t gone entirely to plan:

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
CD UT Cajamarca	Sport Boys	2025-06-28	Primera Division Apertura	1-1 (Draw)
Sport Boys	Binacional	2025-06-22	Primera Division Apertura	3-1 (Win)
FBC Melgar	Sport Boys	2025-06-14	Primera Division Apertura	2-1 (Loss)
Sport Boys	Alianza Lima	2025-05-24	Primera Division Apertura	0-1 (Loss)
Sport Huancayo	Sport Boys	2025-05-18	Primera Division Apertura	1-0 (Loss)

Recent Form: DWLLL

Despite being in the middle of the table (11th place), Sport Boys have had a challenging run, managing just one win in their last five fixtures. They have conceded goals freely, as evidenced by their lack of clean sheets in the same period.

Their last outing against CD UT Cajamarca ended in a 1-1 draw, showing their persistence but also their struggle to close games. Their only win came at home against Binacional with a 3-1 scoreline, a bright spot in an otherwise tough run.

On average, Sport Boys have scored 1 goal per game in their last 5 matches but have been unable to keep clean sheets, highlighting defensive frailties Guillermo Vásquez’s squad will need to address.

Sport Boys Key Players

Sport Boys will lean heavily on their top scorer, Alejandro Hohberg, who has netted an impressive 9 goals this season. His prowess in front of goal will be crucial if they are to penetrate the Cusco FC defense. Hohberg’s ability to find space and exploit defensive lapses will be vital, especially with the team struggling offensively in recent games.
Midfielder Hernán Da Campo will also be a key player, providing the creative spark from the middle of the park. Da Campo’s vision and distribution will be essential in setting up chances for the forwards.
Another player to watch is defensive midfielder Erick Gonzales, who must play a significant role in breaking up Cusco FC’s attacks and protecting the backline.

Expected lineup for Sport Boys:

• Goalkeeper: Steven Rivadeneyra
• Defenders: Matías Almirón, Rodrigo Colombo, Hansell Riojas, Sebastian Aranda
• Midfielders: Cristian Carbajal, Erick Gonzales, Carlos Lopez, Hernán Da Campo, Alejandro Hohberg
• Forward: Luciano Nequecaur

Key Battles:

• Alejandro Hohberg vs Alvaro Ampuero: Hohberg’s goal-scoring ability will test Ampuero’s defensive skills.
• Hernán Da Campo vs Marlon Ruidias: The midfield duo’s clash could dictate the game’s pace and control.

Sport Boys Suspensions & Injuries

Sport Boys will be dealing with a couple of notable absences due to injuries and suspensions, which could significantly affect their performance.

Suspensions

Player	Suspension	Expected return
Oslimg Mora	Red card	Next match

Injuries

Player	Injury	Expected return
Renzo Salazar	Meniscus injury	Mid July 2025
Luis Urruti	Muscle injury	Late July 2025

The loss of Oslimg Mora, who is serving a suspension, is a big blow for the defensive line, and his absence will demand a reshuffle at the back. Meanwhile, injuries to Renzo Salazar and Luis Urruti mean coach Guillermo Vásquez will need to look for other options to fill the gaps, particularly in midfield where Urruti’s creativity will be missed.

Sport Boys Tactics and Formation

Sport Boys Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-1-4-1
• Key Forward: Luciano Nequecaur
• Midfield Trio: Cristian Carbajal, Erick Gonzales, Hernán Da Campo
• Defensive Strength: Highly reliant on stalwarts like Rodrigo Colombo and Hansell Riojas.

Sport Boys, under coach Guillermo Vásquez, typically employ a 4-1-4-1 formation. Nequecaur spearheads the attack, supported by a creative midfield led by Da Campo and the team’s top scorer Alejandro Hohberg on the left wing. The defence, however, faces a reshuffle due to Oslimg Mora’s suspension, with Matías Almirón expected to slot in at right-back. This structure allows for flexibility, but a vulnerability in the later stages of matches has been evident, as most goals conceded come in the 31-60 minute intervals. The team needs to tighten up defensively and maintain focus throughout the match to prevent late goals.
