Cienciano form and stats

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Cienciano when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning one game.

It's a day of discovery for Cienciano as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Cienciano have played two with the results W0-D2-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games Cienciano has scored 2 goals and conceded 2 times.

Last season was a triumph for Cienciano in the national league as they took home the Primera Division trophy. The championship was secured after 14 wins, 2 draws and only 6 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 4, drew 1 and lost 6.

Head 2 Head

Alianza Universidad-Cienciano H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Alianza Universidad four wins, Cienciano three wins, three draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
