Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Cienciano in 10th and Alianza Universidad in 7th place.
It's no vacation for neither Cienciano nor Alianza Universidad as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Alianza Universidad have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
