Insights:
  • Real Garcilaso have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Primera Division

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Primera Division game only four days ago.

Academia Cantolao have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Real Garcilaso form and stats

With 1 Primera Division win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Real Garcilaso are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, the manager M. Grioni led his Garcilaso to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at Sport Boys. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Alberto Gallardo. Heartbreak for Real Garcilaso in their last match as Sport Boys's T. Carranza scored the winning goal deep into overtime. The forward Sandro Rengifo outshone all the other players in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 8.01 out of 10. Rengifo scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 22 successful passes (of 25 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Alianza Lima (0-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Garcilaso have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost five.

The Garcilaso fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 6 league matches. Garcilaso are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).

Academia Cantolao form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. Academia Cantolao has drawn their two previous away games.

Academia failed to get anything from their last game, a Primera Division home match vs Deportivo Binacional (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-2. It's a bit worrying for Academia that their goalkeeper Christian Gonzalo Limousin pulled off eight saves in the Deportivo Binacional fixture, but still couldn't stop a beating. Goalkeeper Christian Gonzalo Limousin got the top player rating of the team with 8.3/10. Limousin stopped the opponent with eight saves.

Before that, Academia travelled to César Vallejo and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Academia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and nine defeats. From a total of 15 matches.

Academia find the net regularly in their away games. 8 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Academia as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head
