Primera Division: High-level against subpar, at least based on the points won so far. Melgar - Universidad San Martín. Home win or a shock result?
- Melgar have the most clean sheets (17) in Primera Division
- Universidad San Martín have the most conceded goals (19) in Primera Division
These teams have little in common geographically as Universidad San Martín have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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.
Melgar form and stats
3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Melgar so far this season.
A strong away win for Melgar against Carlos Stein the last match, as Iberico (2) were on target.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Academia Cantolao in a game that was won 3-1.It should be taken into account that a glance at the 14 most recent league matches shows that 13 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

Universidad San Martín might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sporting Cristal proved too strong as Universidad San Martín slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao. Universidad were so close to getting something from the game against Sporting Cristal, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime. Defender Ampuero was the best team player with a rating of 7.61. Ampuero won 3 of 5 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Carlos Manucci wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.Universidad San Martín are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. The Universidad San Martín manager Coronado has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
