Sport Huancayo come into the match on the back of a 1-0 home win over Universitario last time out in the Primera División.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 77th minute and it was a good win for Sport Huancayo against the team currently second in the table.
The victory over Universitario was the first win in 3 fixtures for Sport Huancayo following 2 straight defeats in the league.
There was a 2-1 loss at home against Sporting Cristal and a 1-0 defeat at Sport Boys, the latter of which was a disappointing result against a team currently in 18th place.
Trends show Sport Huancayo are not easy to beat when playing at home and they are undefeated in 23 of their last 27 home Primera División games.
They have won 3 of their last 4 league matches on home soil but have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 7 home Primera División fixtures.
Universidad César Vallejo travel to the Estadio Huancayo having lost 2-0 at Cusco in their most recent league game.
Cusco scored 2 goals in the space of three minutes early in the second half and Universidad César Vallejo then had a player sent off, leaving them chasing the match with ten men.
The defeat at Cusco means Universidad César Vallejo have won 2 of their 8 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
The wins have come over UTC Cajamarca at home in the Primera División and Magallanes at home in the Copa Sudamericana group stage.
Trends show Universidad César Vallejo have won only 1 of their 6 most recent Primera División matches.
They have been struggling to win games on the road in the league and have failed to win any of their last 8 away fixtures.
However, Universidad César Vallejo are undefeated in 4 of their 6 most recent away Primera División fixtures.
Team news and Sport Huancayo will start with Ronal Huaccha in attack and he will be supported from midfield by Luis Benítes.
Universidad César Vallejo have Yorleys Mena to call upon in attack and he has 12 goals to his name this season.
Argentine Santiago González is expected to start in midfield but Juan Quiñónes is suspended.
This should be a closely fought match between two teams who are currently level in the table.
Universidad César Vallejo have not been winning many matches on the road but they are not easy to beat and this game could end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
