Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Estadio Alberto Gallardo clash with Melgar, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Primera Division table.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

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.
