There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Primera Division table so far. Here's the Academia Cantolao - Cienciano latest:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Academia and Cienciano.
Cienciano have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
