Sporting Cristal is at the top of the Apertura

Although the La Florida team suffered a hard setback when they fell against César Vallejo 2-1 in Trujillo, Universitario’s stumble against Asociación Deportiva Tarma gives them the opportunity to regain the lead in the 2024 Apertura Tournament. Currently, they have 31 points and if they defeated Alianza Atlético they would reach 34, surpassing the 33 of the ‘U’.

Unfortunately, for this presentation they will not be able to count on their figure and captain, midfielder Yoshimar Yotún, who suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament in his left knee. On the other hand, Uruguayan striker Martín Cauteruccio is expected to initiate actions to regain his best football rhythm.

Finally, although winning is essential for Cristal facing the final stretch of the first League 1 competition, they are aware that on the next date they will face Universitario. Therefore, they must prevent midfielders Jesús Pretell, Martín Távara, Gustavo Cazonatti and left back Nicolás Pasquini from receiving a yellow card and being suspended for that early final.

Alianza Atlético will seek to return to victory

The ‘Chira gale’ comes from suffering a tough defeat at home against ADT. At the Campeones del 36 stadium they succumbed 2-1, losing for the second time this year as hosts.

However, the mission is not easy at all, since those led by Jorge Espejo have not been able to win every time they left their province. Except for a draw with Atlético Grau, Sport Boys and Comerciantes Unidos, they lost their other four appearances.

With these results, the representative ‘churre’ is in box number 15 in the general classification with 13 points, but with a positive result they could climb to 11th place. However, they will have to score goals, something that they have not been particularly good at well in the current campaign, since they are the least scoring team with 10 goals in their favor.

To face the ‘brewer’, they will not be able to count on their starting right back, Aldair Perleche, who was sent off against ADT.

In their most recent presentation, the team from Piura fell at home in Sullana 2-1 against the ‘heavenly gale’. (League 1 Play)

Wide favoritism of Sporting Cristal over Alianza Atlético

Saying that Sporting Cristal is a favorite against Alianza Atlético is nothing new, and even more so as a home team, but the statistics between both teams in Lima are overwhelming. Of the last 17 times that the Rímac team received the team from Piura, they defeated them 15 times and tied twice. He didn’t fall into any.

To find the most recent opportunity in which the northern team managed to steal a point from the ‘heavenly machine’, we must go back to the 2008 Clausura Tournament, when they tied 1-1. The last clash between the two dates back to Clausura 2023, at the Alberto Gallardo stadium and was a 3-0 victory for the capital’s team with goals from Brenner Marlos, Irven Ávila and Joao Grimaldo.
