Universitario's current performances, on the other hand, leave more to be desired, as they prepare for this match after a loss to Alianza Atletico in the Primera Division Apertura last Sunday, unable to secure a win in their last three games. They face a packed schedule leading up to their match against River Plate though, with fixtures including Inti Gas Ayacucho, Juan Pablo and Sporting Cristal in Primera Division Apertura and Barcelona Guayaquil in Copa Libertadores Group Stage, and the outcomes of these games may heavily influence their preparations for River Plate. Their defense has shown cracks, conceding goals in their last three matches in a row.
