UTC Cajamarca host Sporting Cristal in a league game where the two teams' situations are clearly different. The hosts just lost 2-3 not long ago, their fourth defeat in a row, while the visitors have won five straight, scoring at a torrential rate and hitting 5-0 in their latest match. UTC Cajamarca have not beaten anyone at all this season, already conceding 24 goals from 10 games; the defence is a problem they cannot solve. Sporting Cristal, meanwhile, sit 4th with 19 points, scoring 20 and conceding 10, looking the more ready team in both boxes, but a trip to Cajamarca is not a place where Cristal have ever won easily, because in their most recent meeting at this ground the hosts scored 4-1. If the hosts can hold their shape as they did early on and not let the visitors take an early lead, this should be a tighter game than the form suggests, because Cajamarca at home tend not to lose heavily, and Cristal themselves have not won every match by a wide margin, even on their winning run.
