Season ticket holders at Estadio Miguel Grau haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Sport Boys languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Melgar will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Melgar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
