This has the potential to be an interesting match as Universitario have their expected home advantage, while Alianza Atlético are in front by 5 points in the Primera Division standings.

Insights:
  • Universitario have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Alianza Atlético have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Alianza Atlético have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
