Sporting Cristal form and stats

Sporting Cristal are still undefeated on their travels in the Primera Division. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

There were no winners in Cristal's previous match, a Primera Division home game that ended 2-2 vs Universitario (placed 9th). Gerald Távara got a match rating of 7.84 in that game, top player of the team. Távara dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 43 successful passes (of 51 total). Drawing 2-2 against Universitario after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager R. Mosquera Vera needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Before that, Cristal travelled to Deportivo Municipal and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

5 goals so far away for Sporting Cristal, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Sporting Cristal - Huancayo 2-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Huancayo won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Sporting Cristal has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eight
