Alianza hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 9th position in the Lpf table. Visiting Independiente holds 5th place with 16 pts.
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.

Alianza's struggle is real here at Estadio Luis Ernesto Cascarita Tapia with only 3 points collected from 6 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 1-0-5. The home stadium (Estadio Luis Ernesto Cascarita Tapia) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Alianza it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?Happy days for Alianza in their previous game, a Lpf match away at Santa Gema that ended with a 4-0 victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Tauro that was lost 0-2.
