The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Academia Cantolao are in the 13th position while the guesting Atlético Grau worry at 19th.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primera Division match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Carlos Stein, so at least Academia are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Atlético Grau form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlético Grau, who have the fewest scored goals (17) in Primera Division, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-7 (win-draw-lose). Atlético Grau seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Atlético play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Universitario. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs UTC Cajamarca.

It's a bit worrying for Atlético that their goalkeeper Bernardo Medina made nine saves in the Universitario game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Atlético were so close to getting something from the game against Universitario, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.

The schedule is very tough for Atlético now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Real Garcilaso is waiting in only one day.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Atlético Grau's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Atlético Grau struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Academia - Atlético Grau 1-0.
