Universitario vs Sporting Cristal Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

On May 16, Universitario are hosting Sporting Cristal in the Apertura of the Primera Division in Peru. The match kicks off at 22:00 UTC.

The spotlight turns to the field where Universitario and Sporting Cristal prepare to meet again, 7 months after the Primera Division Clausura encounter that concluded in a 2-1 victory for Sporting Cristal. With victories over UTC Cajamarca, Barcelona Guayaquil, Deportivo Binacional and Melgar, Universitario is on a roll, so they'll aim to keep their winning momentum going with a victory over Sporting Cristal. Universitario have several key matches to navigate before facing Sporting Cristal though, including Barcelona Guayaquil and Independiente Del Valle in Copa Libertadores Group Stage and Alianza Atletico and Cusco in Primera Division Apertura, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Sporting Cristal.

Sporting Cristal, fresh off a win against Juan Pablo, approach this match eager to continue their positive form in the same manner. For all that, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last five away matches. Before Universitario, Sporting Cristal’s schedule includes Cerro Porteno and Bolivar in Copa Libertadores Group Stage and Inti Gas Ayacucho in Primera Division Apertura, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Universitario.

This Primera Division Apertura encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Universitario and Sporting Cristal throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Universitario’s attacking options, guided by Manuel Barreto, have been bolstered by Jairo Concha and Alex Valera, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Rivera has already scored five goals in Primera Division Apertura this season, while Concha remains their top assist provider in the competition with four. Adding further support are Edison Flores, Jose Carabali and Williams Riveros, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Sporting Cristal’s offensive unit, crafted under Paulo Autuori’s leadership, has leaned on Martin Cauteruccio, their main scorer, and Santiago Emanuel Gonzalez, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Cauteruccio leads Sporting Cristal’s scoring charts in Primera Division Apertura this season with three goals, with Castro topping their assist tally in the competition with three. Gerald Tavara, Christofer Gonzales and Franco Romero have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Sporting Cristal’s attack.
