Alianza Universidad form and stats

Alianza Universidad's results here at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva in the Primera Division have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Universidad, their manager J. Uribe Flores and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Universidad's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Universitario (placed 8th). Universidad were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Eduardo Figueroa had a busy but productive day in the Universitario match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Goalkeeper Eduardo Figueroa got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.13 out of ten. Figueroa stopped the opponent with seven saves.

1-1 away at Carlos Manucci before that.

The lack of attacking qualities in Universidad means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Alianza Universidad have conceded 11 from these games.

Before that one, a nice away victory 6-1 at UTC Cajamarca.
