International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Universitario and Palmeiras are looking forward to this Copa Libertadores fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Paulista A1 game only three days ago. That game, against Botafogo SP, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Palmeiras.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Universitario form and stats
Last season, Universitario's Copa Libertadores journey ended in the 2nd round.Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Universitario are 0-1-0 (wins-draw-losses).
A good away victory last time out for Universitario, who won 1-0 against Universidad San Martin. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Academia Cantolao (1-3).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Universitario at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Palmeiras form and stats
Palmeiras's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the semi-finals.Palmeiras are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Paulista A1, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). One point away has become something of a habit for Palmeiras who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Palmeiras have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 229 minutes ago. G. Gomez was the goal scorer.
Palmeiras are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Botafogo SP. A 0-1 loss hosting Sao Paulo before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Palmeiras manager A. Moreira Ferreira as the team has another away game coming up in only one day, this time against Guarani.
Palmeiras are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). 3 goals have been conceded by Palmeiras in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Universitario wins - draws - Palmeiras wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
