PREVIA

Universitario de Deportes hosts Sport Boys today at the Estadio Monumental de Ate for matchday 11 of the 2022 Liga 1 Apertura Tournament. This meeting will be one of the most attractive of the national competition of the date and where both arrive with different realities.

The 'creams' arrive at the duel with the expectation of improving results and, above all, in the game. It will be the debut of the season for coach Jorge Araujo, who was appointed after the departure of Álvaro Gutiérrez, after the 4-1 defeat to Alianza Lima in the Peruvian football classic last Sunday.

The venue is held in the Apertura standings thanks to an auspicious start of three 3-0 wins in four matches (Academia Cantolao, Universidad San Martín and César Vallejo). In addition to two victories against ADT and Ayacucho FC to accumulate 16 points and place nine.

Universitario has the opportunity to regain ground to approach the provisional leader Binacional, who scored 22 points after his victory against Carlos Mannucci. In addition to closing differences with Cienciano (21 units) and Deportivo Municipal (20 points), who lost in their respective commitments.

The new DT would make variants in the starting eleven. Angel Cayetano is expected to be included in the central back to replace Federico Alonso. Same thing with Jorge Murrugarra and Alfonso Barco in the midfield. On the other hand, Hernán Novick, will be out due to injury and would give his place to Alberto Quintero.

For its part, Sport Boys is presented to the match motivated by the last 1-0 win against Ayacucho FC that allowed him to cut the bad streak of three defeats in a row.

The Callao team will be led by Juan Alayo and are looking for their second consecutive win to get out of the bottom of the table after scoring 8 points to position themselves in 15th place. With a win he could regain two places in the standings.
