Trujillanos might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zamora Futbol Club proved too strong as Trujillanos slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio José Alberto Pérez. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Estudiantes Merida wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
Trujillanos lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
