There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Primera Division table so far. Here's the Melgar - Alianza Lima latest:
It's no vacation for neither Melgar nor Alianza Lima 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.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Melgar form and stats
The story so far in the Primera Division for Melgar at their home stadium (Estadio Municipal Iván Elías Moreno) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Melgar lost their last game at Ayacucho after a 0-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Melgar won a home game hosting Bahia (1-0).
The manager M. Valencia Pacheco will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bahia in only three days.
The Melgar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Melgar are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Municipal Iván Elías Moreno in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Alianza Lima form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Alianza Lima so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Alianza who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Sport Boys was the last time a defeat was avoided. Alianza has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primera Division home defeat versus Deportivo Municipal with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-2 loss hosting Ayacucho before that.
After this away game Alianza Lima return home for a Primera Division game against Deportivo Llacuabamba. That game is only four sleeps after this.
