Season ticket holders at Estadio Alberto Gallardo haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Universidad San Martín languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Cienciano will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Cienciano, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.
Universidad San Martín form and stats
With 2 Primera Division wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Universidad San Martín are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Happy days for Universidad San Martín in their previous game, a Primera Division match away at Academia Cantolao that ended with a 2-1 victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus UTC Cajamarca.
The Universidad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Universidad's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Cienciano form and stats
Playing away, Cienciano have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 5 defeats in the Primera Division this season. Cienciano seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Impressive finishing from Abdiel Ayarza (2) secured the home win 2-0 against Alianza Universidad in their previous game. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Atletico Grau.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 11 goals have been conceded by Cienciano in these games.
