As Cusco and Melgar meet again, the memory of Cusco's 0-3 win in their Primera Division Clausura meeting from 10 months ago still lingers. After a setback against Alianza Lima on February 9, Cusco are eager to get back on track in this match. A more organized backline could be the foundation for success, since their backline has lacked consistency, conceding goals in their last fourteen matches in a row.

Melgar, in contrast to their opponent's recent struggles, come into this clash with momentum, following a victory over UTC Cajamarca in their most recent game, pushing their unbeaten streak to thirteen games. Lately, their defensive efforts have been solid, with four consecutive clean sheets.

This Primera Division Apertura clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of Cusco and Melgar. Cusco’s Ivan Colman and Lucas Colitto have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Miguel Rondelli at the helm, remains effective. Cusco have also relied on Carlo Diez, Carlos Gamarra and Nicolas Silva to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, Melgar’s attacking options, carefully orchestrated by Walter Ribonetto, have been bolstered by Cristian Bordacahar and Kenji Giovanni Cabrera, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Melgar’s top scorer in Primera Division Apertura, Cabrera, has one goal this season, as Bordacahar continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with five assists.
