On Monday night, UTC Cajamarca host Alianza Atletico in the Peruvian Primera Division, with both teams looking to pick up their first points of the Clausura stage.
The home team kicked off their Clausura campaign with a 3-0 defeat at Sports Boys. The defeat was their third straight league defeat after losing their last two games in the Apertura against Carlos Mannucci and Universitario.
UTC Cajamarca’s record in the Peruvian top-flight has not been good in recent months, as they have won just four of their previous 14 matches in the league. That run includes losing six of their last ten matches in the Peruvian top-flight.
Despite their recent underwhelming run of form in the Peruvian top-flight, they have a decent recent home record, winning three of their last four home games in the league.
UTC Cajamarca has also been prolific on home soil in the Peruvian Premier Division, scoring at least two goals in six of their previous seven home matches.
The visitors have yet to play a Clausura match this season. However, they head into this clash on the back of a four-game winless run in the Peruvian top-flight. They have also won just one of their last seven matches in the Primera Division.
A lack of goals has undoubtedly contributed to their poor recent league results, as they have failed to score in their last three league matches.
Allianz Atletico have not been great travellers of late in the Primera Division, as they lost three of their previous four away games in the Peruvian top-flight.
A lack of clean sheets on their travels has been a significant factor in their recent poor away form, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 league matches.
Forebet predicts that UTC Cajamarca will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
