Ayacucho will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 3 points behind UTC Cajamarca.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting UTC Cajamarca have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-14-16 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as UTC Cajamarca have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Ayacucho form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Ayacucho have to build on here at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva in the Primera Division.

UTC Cajamarca form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. Visiting Cajamarca has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
The manager F. Navarro Monteiro was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Héroes de San Ramón. Cajamarca suffered a 1-3 loss to Universitario (placed 1st). A 0-0 draw at Alianza Universidad's stadium before that.
It's a bit worrying for UTC Cajamarca that their goalkeeper Salomon Libman made six saves in the Universitario game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Ayacucho two wins, three draws and UTC Cajamarca five victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
