Sporting Cristal have traveled here for an interesting Copa Libertadores fight against Rentistas. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primera Division.
Sporting Cristal have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Rentistas form and stats
Rentistas's struggle is real here at Estadio Centenario with only 6 points collected from 7 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-5.
Rentistas are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 185 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by F. Perez).
Rentistas faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sao Paulo (0-2). Before that, Rentistas drew at home versus Racing Club.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost three.
Rentistas have scored 5 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. 9 goals have been conceded.
Sporting Cristal form and stats
Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the 2nd round.Sporting Cristal are yet to lose a point on their Primera Division travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games. In general it has been a productive period now for Cristal as they haven't lost any of their last 22 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Melgar game have they lost an away game, meaning Cristal has taken points from 17 away matches in a row.
Impressive finishing from Alejandro Hohberg and Christopher Olivares secured the home win 2-1 against Alianza Lima in their previous game. It was a Copa Libertadores defeat before that one as the away game against Racing Club wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cristal playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Sporting Cristal wins, two draws and four defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cristal manager R. Mosquera Vera as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Real Garcilaso.
7 goals so far away for Sporting Cristal, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 2 league matches away.
