The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Sporting Cristal are in the 13th position while the guesting Alianza Lima worry at 16th.
Cristal have less rest than Alianza Lima in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Primera Division game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sport Boys.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Sporting Cristal form and stats
Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Sporting Cristal are 1-1-1 (wins-draw-losses).
It's back home for Cristal, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sport Boys away with the result 4-1. Kevin Sandoval, Washington Corozo and Gerald Távara found the net in that victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Carlos Stein that was lost 0-1.
Cristal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Cristal have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Alianza Lima form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Primera Division for Alianza Lima with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Alianza Lima seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Alianza lost away at Racing Club (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Racing Club wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Alianza goalkeeper Leao Butron had a great day against Racing Club, but despite making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.
Goals are few and far between in Alianza's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. Alianza struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Sporting Cristal won five, Alianza Lima won three and two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
