Head-to-head statistics Cienciano - Universitario Pronostico
Cienciano Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Copa Sudamericana tournament (home team - Cienciano, away team - Atletico Lanus). The match concluded with a scoreline of 4:0.
Here's the game statistics (Cienciano vs Atletico Lanus):
- ball possession: 54% vs 46%;
- corner kicks: 6 vs 3;
- fouls: 12 vs 10;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 2;
- shots on target: 5 vs 4.
Cienciano's form right now is a mixed bag. Sure, they beat Lanus 4-0 in the Copa Sudamericana recently. But domestically things look shakier - they lost to Juan Pablo II last week, and before that went down 1-3 to Melgar. Defensively there are real problems: they're conceding 1.5 goals per game on average. That said, the attack at home more than makes up for it - 2.2 goals per game on their own turf.

Universitario de Deportes Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Universitario de Deportes, away - Cusco). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2:1.
Here are the match stats (Universitario de Deportes vs Cusco):
- ball possession: 49% vs 51%;
- corner kicks: 3 vs 4;
- fouls: 7 vs 12;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 3;
- shots on target: 5 vs 3.
Universitario are on a three-game winning run. Last week they ground out a tough 2:1 win over Cusco. There's a decent chance they carry that attacking form into this one. Yes, the average over their last 10 games sits at 0.7 goals - but they've scored twice in each of their last three matches. The form is clearly improving. On top of that, the opposition will come out aggressive and looking to impose themselves, which should open up space on the counter. Set pieces are always a factor too.

Editor's Pick
Picking a clear favourite here is genuinely difficult. Universitario have a decent enough squad and can cause problems. But counting on them to keep a clean sheet isn't wise. Same goes for Cienciano. Both sides look capable of scoring - there shouldn't be too much midfield stodge getting in the way. The logical play is total goals over 2.5.
