It's the second attempt for points this league season as Cienciano and Deportivo Municipal battle it out at Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.

12 - 8 - 21 with 48-62. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Deportivo Municipal when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Deportivo Municipal play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

These teams have little in common geographically as Deportivo Municipal have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Deportivo Municipal form and stats

Let's have a look at how Deportivo Municipal performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 26 and conceded 22 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 0 and lost 3 with 18/11 goals scored/conceded.

Deportivo Municipal won their last game, 3-2 versus Ayacucho played at home. Solís got a match rating of 8.8 in that game, top player of the team. Solís scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 72 successful passes (of 76 total).

Prior to that result Municipal won their away game at Alianza Atletico. The scoreline was 2-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Deportivo Municipal playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.
