There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Sporting Cristal leading Atlético Grau by 15 points.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primera Division. That game was an away game at Carlos Manucci, so at least Cristal are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Sporting Cristal form and stats
Sporting Cristal have performed here at Estadio Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería this season with 4 wins from 7 Primera Division matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Cristal are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
An away draw last time out for Sporting Cristal, facing Carlos Manucci in a game that ended 3-3. Before that, Cristal had a home game versus Ayacucho which ended with a victory 2-1.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Cristal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. From these home matches, Cristal have conceded only 6 goals.
Atlético Grau form and stats
There's been little loot from Atlético Grau's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Primera Division. Atlético Grau, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Primera Division, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.
Two away games in a row for Atlético, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Universitario in the Primera Division. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Deportivo Municipal.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Atlético's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Atlético in these games.
