Cienciano form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Cienciano's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
A good away victory last time out for Cienciano, who won 1-0 against Ayacucho (placed 16th). The victory against Ayacucho came after Carando's winning goal. The Cienciano manager Vigevani was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 56th minute. Vargas, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.41 out of 10 in that game. Vargas topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that, Cienciano drew at home versus Deportivo Binacional.Sports gamblers who like staking for low-scoring games might like to know that this team have played 5 league fixtures in a row with zero, one or two goals (under 2.5).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Cienciano at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Universitario form and stats
Universitario are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Universitario aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. Vilca was the last player to find the net.
The manager Compagnucci was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Estadio Monumental. Universitario suffered a 0-1 loss to Deportivo Municipal (placed 7th). Midfielder Polo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.65. Polo hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cesar Vallejo wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.A tale of few goals? 9 of this side's latest 10 league matches have seen zero, one or two goals.
Universitario have the goal stats of 4-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
