Comerciantes Unidos are on a downward slide in the table, having collected only 10 points from 12 matches, and their latest game was a 2-4 home defeat that showed their defence still has gaps to be exploited throughout, but their attack still has something, scoring 20 goals from 12 matches, averaging nearly two per game. As for Cienciano, although they lost in the Copa Sudamericana, they came back to pick up wins in the league in two straight matches, scoring 15 and conceding 18 from 12 matches. The numbers are not much better, but the timing of wins is coming at just the right moment. This game is likely to be a trade of punches in midfield. Both teams had similar shots on target in their last ten games (Comerciantes Unidos 5.89 per game compared to Cienciano 5.8) and similar possession.
