Ayacucho FC vs Minas Prediction

Ayacucho FC hosts Minas on 26 September 2026 at 19:00 in Segunda División. The teams have met twice already this season: Minas won 3-1 on 15 August, and they drew 2-2 on 2 May. Ayacucho arrives in poor form, winning just 2 of their last 5 matches while conceding 17 goals across that stretch. Minas have not lost in 5 games, recording 3 wins and 2 draws while scoring 10 and conceding only 4.

Form and H2H

Ayacucho's recent record masks a defensive collapse. After beating Sidi Estudianti 1-0, they lost three of four matches, including heavy defeats: 1-7 to Deportivo Binacional, 1-5 to Comerciantes, and 0-2 to Sport Huancayo B. At home, the picture improves slightly with 2 wins in 3 matches and 8 goals scored, but their most recent home game ended in a 0-2 loss. Against Sport Huancayo B at home, Ayacucho managed only 9 shots and 6 on target while conceding 19 shots and 12 on target.

Minas have been far more stable. They beat Sport Huancayo B 2-1, Santos Nazca 2-0, and Ayacucho 3-1 in their three wins. Two draws with Alianza Huánuco (1-1) and Comerciantes (2-2) show they create chances consistently. In their last match against Santos Nazca, Minas had 8 shots with 6 on target while the opponent had 18 shots but only 5 on target. Away from home, Minas did not lose to Alianza Huánuco or Comerciantes, scoring 3 goals across those two games.

Best Bet

Minas do not lose. Ayacucho's defensive record over the last 10 matches shows 1.9 goals conceded per game, while Minas average just 1.3 goals conceded per game. Minas have won their last head-to-head meeting 3-1 and hold a 5-game unbeaten run. The home advantage matters for Ayacucho, but their recent form and Minas' consistency point to either a Minas win or a draw as the most likely outcomes.

Odds to Watch

Both teams have scored in each of their two head-to-head meetings this season, combining for 8 goals. Minas scored in 4 of their last 5 matches and have shown they can find the net even in tight contests. Ayacucho average 1.5 goals per game at home over their last 10 matches, and Minas average 2.4 goals per game away. Goals markets and both teams to score offer value given the attacking potential on display in recent meetings.
