Academia Cantolao form and stats

Academia Cantolao's struggle is real here at Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao with only 3 points collected from 7 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-0-6. When Academia Cantolao hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Carlos Stein, Carlos Manucci, Ayacucho, Academia Cantolao, UTC Cajamarca and Sport Boys), they have won 1 of 2 matches! The home stadium (Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Academia Cantolao it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

In their previous game, the manager Saux led his Academia Cantolao to a defeat away at Carlos Stein. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao. The defeat against Carlos Stein was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by Ismodes).

Preceding that match was the home game against Sport Boys that was lost 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Academia Cantolao perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
