Alianza Lima form and stats
When playing at home in the Primera Division, Alianza Lima have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Alianza Lima with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Sport Boys game, 23 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Alianza Lima manager M. Salas Saieg might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Alianza Lima's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Ayacucho. A Copa Libertadores defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Nacional.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Alianza Lima as they have a new game in only one day, a Primera Division match thankfully also at home. Academia Cantolao are visiting.
Alianza are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games. From these home matches, Alianza have conceded only 8 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Deportivo Municipal form and stats
The visitors are W3-D5-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division.
Deportivo Municipal's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Sport Huancayo that finished 0-0. A loss against Melgar was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The schedule is very tough for Municipal now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Sporting Cristal is waiting in only one day.
Municipal find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Municipal have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Alianza - Deportivo Municipal 1-0, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Alianza Lima won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Deportivo Municipal has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
