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.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

Alianza Lima form and stats
The Primera Division season is young and Alianza Lima have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Alianza are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
There might be some fixture complaints from Alianza as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Copa Libertadores match against Racing Club (0-1). A 0-1 defeat away at Racing Club before that.
It's a bit worrying for Alianza Lima that their goalkeeper Leao Butron made eight saves in the Racing Club game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Goals are few and far between in Alianza's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. As for defending, Alianza rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
