Alianza Atletico Key Players

Alianza Atletico will be banking on their top scorer, Agustin Graneros, who has netted just one goal this season to provide the attacking spark needed. Graneros will likely play alongside Rolando Díaz in the forward line, with the duo poised to challenge Ayacucho FC’s defenders head-on.

The midfield will be orchestrated by Hernan Lupu, who will look to control the tempo and create opportunities for the forwards. In defense, Horacio Benincasa and Jose Villegas have been solid, contributing to the team’s recent clean sheets.

Expected lineup for Alianza Atletico:

• Goalkeeper: Diego Melián
• Defenders: Piero Guzman, Jose Villegas, Horacio Benincasa
• Midfielders: Frank Ysique, Stefano Fernandez, Hernan Lupu, Anthony Gordillo, Luis Olmedo
• Attackers: Rolando Díaz, Agustín Graneros

The battle between Graneros and Ayacucho’s defensive line, led by Jonathan Bilbao and Brackson Leon, will be crucial in determining the match’s outcome.

Alianza Atletico Suspensions & Injuries

Alianza Atletico will have to cope without Guillermo Larios for this match as he is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. His absence in the attack could hamper their already struggling offensive lineup, particularly since he has been a regular feature in their recent fixtures.

Fortunately, there are no reported injuries in the squad, which means coach Gerardo Ameli will have the full roster, minus Larios, at his disposal.

The onus will be on the rest of the attacking lineup, especially Graneros and Díaz, to pick up the slack and find a breakthrough against Ayacucho FC’s defense.

• Defensive Setup: Utilizes five at the back to reinforce solidity, contributing to their two clean sheets in the last five games.
• Tactical Focus: Given their difficulty in scoring, expect a defensive approach aiming for a counterattack.

Alianza Atletico’s formation typically prioritizes defense, aiming to contain opposition attacks and strike on the break. With key players like Graneros and Díaz up front, their hope lies in seizing limited scoring opportunities. The absence of suspended Guillermo Larios might alter their offensive rhythm, placing more reliance on the midfield trio to supply forward momentum.

Up front, Perez will spearhead the attack, looking to exploit any defensive lapses by Alianza Atletico.

Despite their low-scoring form, Ayacucho FC’s resilience in defense could prove critical in this match. Their ability to hold strong at the back and seize counter-attacking opportunities will likely define their chances of securing points.
