A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Melgar fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and Carlos Stein's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It's no vacation for neither Melgar nor Carlos Stein 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.
Melgar form and stats
Melgar must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio de la Universidad Nacional San Agustín. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Melgar after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Melgar goalkeeper Carlos Alberto Caceda Oyaguez is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 251 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primera Division.
The home team returns to Estadio de la Universidad Nacional San Agustín after being equal after 90 minutes with César Vallejo (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Primera Division game ended 0-0. Before that, Melgar had a home game versus Sport Huancayo which ended with a victory 1-0.
Melgar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. From these home matches, Melgar have conceded only 2 goals.
Carlos Stein form and stats
Carlos Stein are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Carlos Stein's previous game was their home loss versus Real Garcilaso (1-2). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Sporting Cristal.
It's a bit worrying for Carlos that their goalkeeper Ronald Ruiz made seven saves in the Real Garcilaso game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
The attacking power of Carlos when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Carlos are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
