Racing Club and Alianza Lima get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Racing Club and Alianza Lima.

Alianza Lima have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Racing Club form and stats

Racing Club participated in Copa Libertadores the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against River Plate.

When playing at home in the Superliga, Racing Club have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 11 games. The Racing Club fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón and will expect new points from this game. Racing Club has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

Happy days for Racing Club in their previous game, a Superliga match away at Estudiantes that ended with a 2-1 victory. In the game before, an away victory in the Copa Libertadores match versus Estudiantes Merida with a 2-1 scoreline.

Racing Club are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. Racing Club have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Alianza Lima form and stats

Alianza Lima's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the group stage.

The Primera Division season is young and Alianza Lima have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Alianza Lima has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Alianza Lima, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Universitario. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Nacional.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Deportivo Binacional in just three days.

Goals are few and far between in Alianza Lima's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. In the opposite end, Alianza Lima have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
