Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, UTC Cajamarca in 8th and Universitario in 12th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Universitario have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.
It's quite the trip for Universitario when visiting UTC Cajamarca as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
