With their 0 point advantage in the league table, Academia Cantolao fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Deportivo Municipal.

Insights:
  • Academia Cantolao have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Primera Division
  • Deportivo Municipal have the fewest scored goals in the second half (3) in Primera Division

Little time to rest for the team playing at home, as they played a Primera Division game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Universidad San Martín.

10-8-20 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Deportivo Municipal when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 38 matches are 42-64 (scored/conceded).

Academia are returning here after visiting Universidad San Martín in a Primera Division game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Jesús Castillo and Leonel Solís scored the goal(s). Midfield player Leonel Solís got a match rating of 8.02 in that game, the max score being 10. Solís scored one goal, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).

A loss against Ayacucho was the result prior to that, in a home game.
