On Friday night, two struggling teams in the Peruvian top flight meet, as UTC Cajamarca and Alianza Atletico go head-to-head at the Estadio Heroes de San Ramon.
The home team have made a poor start to their Clausura campaign, picking up just two points from their opening three outings in the competition.

A 2-2 draw at Cienciano last time out means they are also winless in four league outings dating back to their Apertura campaign.
Their main issue of late has been conceding goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four matches in the Peruvian top flight.
One positive for Cajamarca of late has been their home form in the league, as they head into this clash on the back of a seven-game unbeaten home run, having kept an impressive five clean sheets in the stellar streak.
Like their hosts, Alianza Atletico have made a poor start to their Clausura campaign, having lost all three games in the competition.
However, their poor form did not start during their Clausura campaign. Alianza Atletico heads into this clash on the back of five games without a league victory, having suffered four defeats in the run.
A 1-0 home reverse against Cesar Vallejo last time out means that the visitors have scored just once in their previous four outings in the Peruvian top flight.
Atletico Alianza also has a poor recent league record in the Peruvian top flight, as they are winless in the previous seven matches on their travels, including suffering six straight defeats away from home, having conceded at least two goals in their last five games on the road.
Forebet predicts that Cajamarca will get back to winning ways in this encounter in a low-scoring game.
