Sport Boys hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 19th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting Cienciano holds 9th place with 24 pts.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primera Division match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Universidad San Martín, so at least Sport Boys are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Cienciano, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.
