Cienciano vs Atlético Grau: Prediction & Preview

Cienciano welcome Atlético Grau to Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega for Round 14 of the Liga 1 Perú 2026 season on Thursday, 29 October 2026. The hosts sit 6th of 18 with 47 points from 30 matches, built on 14 wins, five draws and 11 defeats.

Atlético Grau arrive 14th with 34 points from their 30 games. They have won nine, drawn seven and lost 14, leaving a 13-point gap between the sides in the table.

Cienciano's last five read LWWDL, the most recent a 1-3 defeat away to Comerciantes Unidos on 25 October. Before that they beat Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca 1-0 at home and won 2-0 away at Deportivo Moquegua, after a 1-1 home draw with Los Chankas and a 1-2 loss at ADT.

Atlético Grau's run is DLDLW, and they have not won in their last four league outings. They drew 1-1 at home to ADT on 23 October, lost 1-3 at Alianza Lima, drew 0-0 with Los Chankas and fell 1-3 at Sporting Cristal. Their last victory in this sequence was a 3-1 home win over Alianza Atlético on 13 September.

Cienciano have been the more potent side in the league, scoring 50 goals and conceding 43 in 30 matches. Across all competitions they have played 40 games, with 18 wins, 61 goals scored, 53 conceded and 10 clean sheets.

Atlético Grau's attack has struggled, with 28 goals scored and 35 conceded in the league. Their defence has still produced 10 clean sheets, a sign that goals have been hard to come by at both ends in their matches.

Hyper2Play's model gives Cienciano a 62% chance of winning, with the draw at 22% and an Atlético Grau win at 16%. The pick is Cienciano, with a likely score of 1-0, and the model rates its confidence as high.

The estimate is based on points per game, goal difference, recent form and home advantage, all of which lean towards the hosts given their higher league position and stronger scoring record. Atlético Grau's low goal output points to a tight margin rather than a rout. This is a model estimate, not a guarantee.
