  • Cusco FC have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

2-3-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Cusco FC when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 10-12 (scored/conceded).

Unión Comercio and Cusco FC should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
