The visiting UTC Cajamarca side should be favourites in this visit to Universidad San Martín, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their twelve league games this season.
The hosts Universidad saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Primera Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Melgar.
5-14-18 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for UTC Cajamarca when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 37 matches are 32-58 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for UTC Cajamarca when visiting Universidad as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Universidad San Martín form and stats
Universidad San Martín's results here at Estadio Municipal Iván Elías Moreno in the Primera Division have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Universidad drew their last game, 1-1 away at Melgar (placed 13th). Preceding that match was the home game against Real Garcilaso that was lost 1-2.
The Universidad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Universidad have conceded 8 in these home matches.
UTC Cajamarca form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. The fact that Cajamarca have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Cajamarca, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Cajamarca are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Primera Division against Academia Cantolao (placed 14th). Prior to that result UTC Cajamarca won their away game at Alianza Lima. The scoreline was 2-0.
The attacking power of UTC Cajamarca when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Universidad two wins, five draws and UTC Cajamarca three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
