Preview
Melgar and Sporting Cristal face at Estadio de la Universidad Nacional San Agustín, in a match for the 3rd round of the Primera División. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 9 head‑to‑heads they won 4, tied 3 and lost 2. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, on 09‑11‑2019, Sporting Cristal won by (2‑3). B. Cuesta (51' and 72' ) scored for Melgar and C. Palacios (2' ), G. Távara (70' ) and N. Loyola (81' ) for Sporting Cristal. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Melgar

Currently in the 7th position of the league, the home team has conquered 3 points so far. In the 1st round, they lost at home against Universitario by (1‑2). In the following round, the final score was a (2‑4) win in an away match against Deportivo Binacional. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Melgar has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

The high number of goals conceded in the first two games made it clear that something needs to be done. Melgar is coming offensively, but they will need to find ways to make their defense less exposed. Faced with a strong opponent, the difficulty increases and will require more attention. However, the local team must use the strength of their stadium to present new things and win. It will depend only on them to leave the field victorious, but if they are careless they can get complicated. In this match, the best players available will be in the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Carlos Cáceda, Carlos Neyra, Paolo Fuentes, Hernán Pellerano, Edson Aubert, Leonardo Mifflin, Alexis Arias, Joel Sánchez, Pablo Miguez, Joel Amoroso, Othoniel Arce Jaramillo.
Coach: N. Lorenzo.

Analysis Sp. Cristal

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 3 points won. In their debut they lost in an away match against UTC Cajamarca, by (2‑1). In the second round, they won in a home match against Real Garcilaso, by (3‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa Libertadores, they got a home win against Barcelona by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Sporting Cristal has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

The Peruvian championship is just beginning and it is still too early to define what the teams will fight for. In the case of Sporting Cristal, the goal is to fight for the top places and from now on they will have to show commitment. In the current round they will play away from home, and at least one draw is important to win. Just like their opponent, they will need to keep the positive attack pand find ways to reduce the goals conceded.   In this match, the best players available will be in the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Renato Solís, Johan Madrid, Gianfranco Chavez, Nilson Loyola, Omar Merlo, Horacio Calcaterra, Gerald Távara, Jesús Castillo, Kevin Sandoval, Emanuel Herrera, Ray Sandoval.
Coach: E. Alves Moreira.
