FC Cajamarca (home)
- FC Cajamarca come into Saturday's game in mixed form but with plenty of determination after winning 2 and drawing 3 of their last 5 matches.
- The hosts' 3-game draw streak leading into this game says that they have plenty of grit, but not much of a killer instinct, as the latest 1-1 away draw to Alianza Atletico and home 1-1 draw against Alianza Lima was followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Juan Pablo II College in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026.
- Celso Ayala has been in charge of FC Cajamarca since 25 March 2026 and his preferred formation of 4-2-3-1 is a rigid set up that is designed to keep it tight and hit teams with a vertical counterattack, led by a No.10.
- Mauricio Arrasco has 1 goal in 1 game in Liga 1 - Clausura 2026 for Cajamarca and is their most likely outlet in the attacking third.

- They've also suffered back-to-back defeats coming into this one.
- Richard Pellejero has been in charge of Sport Huancayo since 27 March 2026 and prefers to press higher up the field and get the ball back quickly in transition.
- In their latest 5-game stretch, Nahuel Lujan has scored 1 goal in 1 match and he remains their most lethal in the box, although Piero Magallanes has provided 1 assist in 1 fixture and also scored 3 goals in Huancayo's last 5-game stretch, so he's the hottest player right now for Huancayo.
