Cienciano and UTC Cajamarca have met several times in recent years, and the home side has always tended to come away with the better result, including a 6-1 win a year ago. But this time the picture is different, because the visitors have 2 points from 11 matches and have not beaten anyone at all in the league. Cienciano just closed things out with a 2-0 win in the league and are unbeaten in 2 straight, but before that there were both a 0-3 loss in the cup and a league defeat to be seen. The attack still has something, but the defence shows lapses from time to time. Meanwhile UTC Cajamarca have lost 5 in a row and have conceded more than they have scored in every match. The defence struggles to hold up under pressure, but they have still scored in many of the matches they lost. If Cienciano can press as usual, UTC Cajamarca will likely have to sit deep and wait to counter. The game will flow mainly toward the home side, but the visitors have counterattacking moments that keep it from being easy. The first thing to watch is how quickly Cienciano can score, because if the home side takes the lead, the game will tilt even further one way.
