This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera Division, Molinos El Pirata holding 18th place and UTC Cajamarca lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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.
Molinos El Pirata form and stats
Molinos El Pirata's struggle is real here at Estadio Francisco Mendoza Pizarro with only 6 points collected from 8 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Molinos El Pirata with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Sport Boys game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Molinos El Pirata, their manager A. Celis and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Molinos El Pirata lost their last game at Ayacucho (placed 12th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Deportivo Municipal with the scoreline 0-3.
