• How does Universitario arrive at the classic?
• The crema squad led by Argentine Héctor Cúper occupies second place in the Clausura Tournament with 17 points, and is only two points behind the leader Deportivo Garcilaso (19). In the last matchday, the cremas dropped two points at home by drawing 2-2 against Comerciantes Unidos. This result caused the ‘U’ to lose the top spot to the Cusco team, which took advantage of the reigning three-time champion’s stumble to take first place after defeating Atlético Grau at home. The ‘U’ needs to earn three points and hope Garcilaso loses to Sport Boys to return to first place in the standings. 

• How does Alianza Lima arrive at the classic?
• The blanquiazul squad, placed 8th in the Clausura Tournament standings with 13 points, arrives at the classic against the ‘U’ after drawing 1-1 in the last matchday against Juan Pablo II in Chongoyape. The victorians have gone three matches without winning and have only earned two points out of nine possible in the last three rounds. The last Alianza victory in the championship was in matchday 5, with a 1-0 result against UTC de Cajamarca at Matute. The team led by Argentine Pablo Guede urgently needs a win to get closer to the top positions in the standings.
