With 9 victories, 2 draws, and 6 losses, the home team currently occupies 7th place, having accumulated 29 points. In their prior match, they drew with Cienciano (1‑1), following a triumph at home against Merchants United (2‑0). Sporting Cristal is notably stronger at their stadium, earning 21 points at home as opposed to just 8 as visitors. In their last 8 home matches in the championship, they recorded 7 wins and only 1 loss, amassing 21 points from a possible 24.
Their defensive solidity has been an area of concern, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, yet any concerns are offset by their attack, which has scored in 8 of the same fixtures. At home, their matches tend to feature plenty of goals, with 6 out of 8 matches ending with over 2.5 goals. Notably, in 17 matches this season, they have managed to overturn the scoreline in 2 of the 6 instances where they conceded first.
Despite having no title aspirations in Apertura, Sporting Cristal is keen to conclude the season positively. Playing at home, they are favoured due to their recent performances and the technical quality of their squad. Expect them to play ambitiously from the outset, aimed at dominating possession and intensity, focusing on securing another home victory for their fans.
Team analysis: Grau
The visiting team sits in 10th place with 22 points, following 5 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses. They lost away to Alianza Atletico (2‑1) in their penultimate match but returned to winning ways with a home victory over ADC Juan Pablo II (2‑0). Grau has been heavily reliant on home form, earning 16 points at home compared to only 6 away, with 13 goals scored and 8 conceded at home versus 9 scored and 14 conceded on the road. In their last 8 away league fixtures, they have only managed 1 win, alongside 3 draws and 4 losses, securing just 6 points from a possible 24. In the championship, 0-0 is the most common scoreline at half-time, occurring in 4 of their 9 matches. They have found the net regularly, scoring in 7 of their last 10 matches. However, in the 17 games of this season, they have never managed to turn around a deficit in the 5 instances where they conceded first.
Grau faces a significant challenge this round. Acknowledging the difficulty of competing against a structured opponent, particularly away from home, they are likely to adopt a cautious strategy. Their match plan is expected to focus on defending against early pressure and exploiting counter-attacks. Securing a draw would be an excellent outcome, yet this will demand complete concentration and minimal errors. Their objective is to perform with integrity and seek to surprise in what is one of the toughest fixtures of the round.
