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.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Melgar form and stats
Melgar must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio Alberto Gallardo. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Melgar after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Melgar are confident in defense, having played 251 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
An away draw last time out for Melgar, facing César Vallejo in a game that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Melgar won a home game hosting Sport Huancayo (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).
Home advantage was not enough for Carlos in their previous game, as they lost their Primera Division-match, hosting Real Garcilaso, 1-2. Preceding that game was the away victory against Sporting Cristal with the score of 1-0.
It's a bit worrying for Carlos Stein that their goalkeeper Ronald Ruiz made seven saves in the Real Garcilaso game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Carlos Stein as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. 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.
