The home side currently sits in 18th place, yet to earn a point, having suffered 3 defeats. In their penultimate match, they lost at home to Sport Huancayo (0-1), followed by a narrow loss away to Alianza Lima (1-0). In their last 10 home matches, Juan Pablo II College has achieved 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. Unfortunately, they have conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 encounters, highlighting defensive inadequacies that urgently need addressing. Out of 15 matches, they have been the first to concede in 8 games, only managing to turn the scoreboard in one instance. A key observation from their last 8 home matches across all competitions is that they have scored 3 of their 8 goals within the first 15 minutes.
Juan Pablo II College is having a difficult season, languishing at the bottom of the League 1 table. Both their defence and attack have been found wanting, which has greatly impacted their results. To compete more evenly with Melgar in this forthcoming match, they must enhance their defensive solidity while also improving their attacking prowess.
