Juan Pablo II aren't exactly flying either. Yes, they beat Cienciano 2-0 recently - but that had a lot to do with home advantage. Away from home, it's a different story.

On the road, though, expect them to set up very cautiously.

Editor's Pick
Both sides look capable of keeping things tight at the back. Neither team relies on attack as their main weapon - a lot of what they do is built around disruption and defensive structure. Sporting Cristal are clearly the stronger side, especially at home. But Juan Pablo 2 could sit deep and try to hold on for a draw. We're not expecting goals here. Total goals under 3.5 looks like the right call.
