It's only eight days and nights since Deportivo Municipal played against Sport Boys and the result was 2-0. Can they win hosting Universitario?

Insights:
  • All of Deportivo Municipal's matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • Universitario is in the best form (5-1-0) in Primera Division

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Universitario have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

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.
