Sporting Cristal have traveled here for an interesting Copa Libertadores fight against The Strongest. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

Sporting Cristal have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The Strongest have less rest than Sporting Cristal in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Liga De Futbol Prof game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Wilstermann, was also a home game here at Estadio Hernando Siles. The away team is better rested.

Sporting Cristal form and stats

They also participated in Copa Libertadores last season. This ended in the group stage.

3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Sporting Cristal playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season.

The supporters enjoyed Cristal's previous fixture versus Cienciano, a 4-2 win played at home. A bizarre match with an abundance of goals last time out for Sporting Cristal, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this match be as gleeful? Attacker Hohberg got a player rating of 8.81 in the game. "Man of the match" Hohberg scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and had 28 successful passes (of 31 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Sport Huancayo at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Sporting Cristal have another match away from home in just three sleeps, a Primera Division game against Alianza Atletico. A difficult timetable for the visitors!

As opposed to that, Cristal have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The teams involved met each other earlier on this campaign: Sporting Cristal - The Strongest 1-0. Head-to-head statistics (for the former three meetings): The Strongest won one game, one match ended with a tie and Sporting Cristal got one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / two.
