Melgar form and stats
When playing at home in the Primera Division, Melgar have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. The Melgar manager N. Lorenzo might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A good away victory last time out for Melgar, who won 1-0 against Cienciano (placed 8th). Midfield player Paolo Reyna got a match rating of 8.1 in that game, the max score being 10. Reyna dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Sporting Cristal (0-1).Melgar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. 5 goals have been conceded.
Ayacucho form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Ayacucho might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Real Garcilaso proved too strong as Ayacucho slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Ciudad de Cumaná. Midfield player Marcos Delgado was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.01/10. Delgado hit one key pass.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Deportivo Binacional wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.After this away game Ayacucho return home for a Primera Division game against Alianza Atlético. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Ayacucho are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). The Ayacucho manager W. Fiori has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
