- Carlos Manucci have the most conceded goals (11) in Primera Division
- Melgar have yet to win a game away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Carlos Manucci and Melgar.
Melgar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Carlos Manucci, who have the most conceded goals (11) in Primera Division, have collected 7 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 2-1-1.

Melgar form and stats
The Primera Division season is young and Melgar have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. It's a growing despair in Melgar as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Melgar failed to get anything from their last game, a Primera Division home match vs Alianza Atlético (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Before that, Melgar secured a home win against Atletico PR with the score 1-0.
