This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera Division, Universidad San Martín holding 18th place and Sport Boys lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primera Division. That game, against Alianza Lima, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sport Boys.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Universidad San Martín form and stats
With 1 Primera Division win, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Universidad San Martín are certainly not brimming with confidence. Universidad are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Municipal Iván Elías Moreno with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Ayacucho match.
Universidad are returning here after visiting Carlos Stein in a Primera Division game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Sebastián Gonzalez Zela and Jordan Guivin scored the goal(s). Preceding that match was a defeat to César Vallejo (0-1).
This is expected to be a close game, with Universidad San Martín perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Universidad San Martín as a small favourite), we find six games. Universidad has won two of these, drawn two and lost two.
There will be little rest for Universidad San Martín after this match as they are travelling to Alianza Lima for a Primera Division game in only three days.
The Universidad San Martín fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Universidad San Martín have conceded 10 goals.
Sport Boys form and stats
Sport Boys have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 1-1-5 (7 played).
Boys are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Alianza Lima (placed 10th). A 1-2 loss hosting Academia Cantolao before that.
Jonathan Medina had red hot gloves after the game against Alianza Lima, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Boys playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Sport Boys win, one draw and two defeats.
After this away game Boys return home for a Primera Division game against Cienciano. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Boys are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Boys have conceded 14 goals in these games.
