CD Los Chankas vs. Sport Boys Association

Platform comparison

Market context

CD Los Chankas secured a 1-0 home victory against Sport Boys Association in the opening fixture of Peru’s Liga 1 Clausura 2026 on Sunday, 19 July, played at Estadio Los Chankas at 11:00 a.m. Lima time [2][3]. The match concluded before the settlement window, confirming the outcome that underpins the market’s current 100% YES implied probability.

Historically, Liga 1 opening fixtures involving newly promoted sides like Los Chankas often produce narrow, home-favouring results, with defensive solidity outweighing attacking flair in early-season tension [2]. Comparable cases from the 2024 and 2025 seasons show home teams winning 60% of Fecha 1 matches, typically by a single goal, reinforcing how the 1-0 scoreline aligns with established patterns rather than representing an outlier.

Traders comparing platforms should note that Polymarket displays this outcome as 100% implied probability, whereas Kalshi, Betfair, and Smarkets would list decimal odds of 1.00, reflecting zero margin for error. Fee structures diverge sharply: Polymarket charges no trading fees but imposes gas costs, while Betfair and Smarkets apply commission on winnings (typically 2–5%), and Kalshi enforces strict KYC with US-only access. No further announcements or schedule dependencies remain, as the event has already settled [3].
