Universitario form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Universitario have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Monumental.

The Universitario goalkeeper Jose Aurelio Carvallo Alonso is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 244 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primera Division.

Universitario are returning here after visiting Sport Boys and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Cantoro scored the goal(s). Manager Compagnucci felt very clever after Cantoro scored the winning goal against Sport Boys, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 78th minute. Carvallo, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.63 out of 10 in that game. Carvallo topped it up with a clean sheet.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Alianza Lima with a 2-0 scoreline.

It should be considered that a peek at the 10 most recent league matches reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The Universitario fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Universitario are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Monumental in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 5 matches.
