  • Real Garcilaso have the most points from losing position (10) in Primera Division

Real Garcilaso have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

These are hectic days for the hosts, as they played only three days ago in the Primera Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Deportivo Binacional.
