Juan Pablo II College (home)
- Juan Pablo II College have made a decent start to their first ever season in the Peruvian Primera Division with four points from four matches, but their home form has left a lot to be desired with one draw and a defeat from two outings.
- Average at home: 1.5 goals per home game.
- Marcelo Zuleta’s pragmatic blueprint helps the newly-promoted side stifle opponents by sitting deep in a low block and pressing with discipline to remain compact in central areas.
Cusco FC (away)
- Cusco FC are much more proactive and can switch between different shapes, deploy wingbacks to provide width and press much further up the pitch.
- Miguel Rondelli’s side have been in slightly better form than Juan Pablo II in recent weeks (W2, D1, L2) and sit higher in the table on goal difference (4 points apiece, 12th vs 16th).
Head-to-Head
Cusco FC have a slight advantage in the recent head-to-head record in Liga 1 ( last 2: W1, D1 ).
