Alianza Lima needs to win, first to score its first points in group F and then to end its bad streak in Copa Libertadores. With those two objectives in mind, he will play against Colo Colo, which is good in terms of results. The 'intimates' have faced Chilean teams several times, but the balance is not so favorable so far.
In total for this tournament Conmebol have played eight away games in its history, adding 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. In addition, they scored 6 goals in favor and conceded 17 goals. The last match played in the southern country lost 3-0 to Palestino in the framework of the third round of group A. There they shared a group with Internacional de Brasil and River Plate from Argentina.
On the other hand, of their last 5 away matches 3 were defeats, 1 draw and 1 win. The most remembered match of these is the 2-2 match against Universidad de Chile for the round of 16 of the tournament, when the Ecuadorian Carlos Vera claimed the goal of Felipe Seymour, which in the first instance had invalidated. That was the final 2-2 that gave the qualification to the 'blue' squad to the quarterfinals.
Now a new story will be written and Alianza Lima will seek a victory against Colo Colo to add the third in its entire history. For this commitment he only has the loss of Aldair Rodríguez, who is suspended after being expelled in the duel against River Plate, within the framework of the first date of group F.
The 'intimates' received the support of their fans with a flag, which was shared on the club's social networks. “I just know that I have to encourage!” , wrote the 'whites' in the video they shared where you can see all the details of the party that took place outside the hotel of the concentration.
