Sport Boys Association vs. Club Alianza Lima

Platform comparison

Market context

Sport Boys are due to meet Alianza Lima in Peru’s Liga 1, and a **YES** share in this market pays out if the match settles as the stated fixture within the window; a **NO** share pays if it does not. With the crowd-implied probability at **0% YES**, the market is pricing the event as effectively already done, which usually reflects a belief that the listed match will take place on schedule and be settled as described.

That reading fits the recent record between the sides. Alianza Lima have generally held the edge in head-to-head meetings, with multiple databases showing a clear advantage in wins and relatively few Sport Boys victories across the last several seasons[1][3][7]. The most recent listed league meeting finished Alianza Lima 1-0 Sport Boys in February 2026, while earlier 2025 and 2024 league games also went Alianza’s way[5][20]. For a newcomer to prediction markets, that means the current price is less about who wins and more about whether the named fixture actually appears in the official schedule and is resolved before settlement.

Traders should watch for anything that affects the match’s existence rather than the scoreline: league fixture changes, postponements, venue or security issues, and any official rescheduling by Liga 1 or the clubs. Match listings already show the game on 9 August 2026 in live-scores services, but the practical risk in a zero-priced settlement market is usually cancellation, abandonment, or a date change beyond the settlement window[12][17]. Because the window ends at 2026-08-09T01:00:00Z, even a late administrative shift after kick-off could matter more here than pre-match form or team news.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Prediction Market UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
