The first of two encounters in the Copa Libertadores 2nd Round, as the hometeam Barcelona will try to edge Sporting Cristal in their own ballpark.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Barcelona form and stats

Action has already taken place for Barcelona in Copa Libertadores as they have defeated Progreso to reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Barcelona's Copa Libertadores journey ended in the 2nd round.

31 points is a decent return from 15 Liga Pro games here at Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo for Barcelona. The data says 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.

Barcelona are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 224 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by M. Corozo (own goal)).

Barcelona's last game was hosting Progreso and winning 3-1. In the game before, an away victory in the Copa Libertadores match versus Progreso with a 2-0 scoreline.

Barcelona are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found three matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Wtwo-Done-Lzero.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (34 in 15 games), Barcelona's attacking play is working. 17 goals have been conceded.

Sporting Cristal form and stats

Sporting Cristal's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the group stage.

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Sporting Cristal have produced an overall stat of 0-0-1 so far. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sporting Cristal's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Sporting Cristal play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to UTC Cajamarca. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Alianza Lima.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sporting Cristal played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected zero times.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Real Garcilaso in just three days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Sporting Cristal has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
