CD Comerciantes Unidos vs. Club Alianza Lima

Platform comparison

Market context

Comerciantes Unidos hosted Alianza Lima in Peru’s Liga 1 on Sunday, 26 July 2026, at Estadio Juan Maldonado Gamarra, a venue listed with a capacity of 10,030.[2] The market’s crowd-implied probability of **0% YES** is far below the kind of price profile that sportsbook data usually assigns to a strong away favourite in this fixture, where comparable odds have previously shown Alianza Lima around 1.30 to win, with Comerciantes Unidos at 11.00 and the draw at 5.54.[3]

That gap matters because head-to-head results and market pricing have generally framed Alianza Lima as the more likely winner, even if not by a margin that would justify a literal zero. FootyStats’ recent H2H listing shows a narrow 1-0 result in this pairing, while Oddspedia records a 0-1 Alianza Lima win in the 2025 meeting, reinforcing a low-scoring, away-leaning pattern rather than an outcome that is structurally impossible.[1][3] In other words, a 0% YES price reads more like an extreme mispricing or stale market state than a consensus view.

For traders, the main catalysts are team news, line-up confirmation, and any late schedule or venue changes, because those are the inputs most likely to move a contract that is already priced at the floor. The published kick-off information from 365Scores places the match at 20:30 local time in Cutervo, and any confirmation of rotation, travel constraints, or a changed Alianza squad would be more relevant than historical head-to-head alone.[2]

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

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.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

What does Polymarket cost to trade?

Polymarket itself charges 0% — the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction. Off-chain venues like Kalshi or Betfair charge 2-7% commission.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
