In their last five Primera Division outings, CD UT Cajamarca have shown a mixed bag of performances with a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses (LLDWL). Most recently, they fell short in a 2-1 defeat against Comerciantes Unidos.

Despite these setbacks, they did manage a solid 2-0 victory against Los Chankas, after securing a 0-0 stalemate against Deportivo Garcilaso. However, the losses to Universitario de Deportes and Asociacion Deportiva Tarma highlight their ongoing struggles.

• Average Goals Scored: CD UT Cajamarca have averaged 1.00 goal per match in their last five performances.
• Clean Sheets: They’ve also kept 2 clean sheets, showing some defensive resilience.
• Concessions: They concede plenty though, with an average of 1.7 goals against them in 29 matches this season.

Their fluctuating form makes them unpredictable, but they’ll be keen to leverage any home advantage they can get in the next match.

CD UT Cajamarca Key Players

CD UT Cajamarca will be relying heavily on their top scorer, Jarlin Quintero, who has netted 7 goals this season. Quintero’s ability to exploit defensive lapses will be crucial for Cajamarca’s chances as they seek to climb out of the relegation zone.

Another player to watch is Cristian Mejía, whose presence in the midfield will be pivotal in both breaking up play and creating opportunities for the forwards. Key battles on the pitch are likely to occur between CD UT Cajamarca’s attacking duo and Cienciano’s defensive line.

Expected lineup for CD UT Cajamarca:

• Goalkeeper: Diego Campos
• Defenders: Anthony Rosell, Luis Garro, Jose Lujan, Roberto Villamarin
• Midfielders: Andre Vasquez, Piero Serra, Cristian Mejía, Juan Vega, Freddy Oncoy
• Forward: Erinson Ramírez

Their defensive solidity, paired with the offensive prowess of players like Quintero, will be crucial in this contest.

CD UT Cajamarca Suspensions & Injuries

CD UT Cajamarca have a significant injury concern heading into their match against Cienciano with midfielder Roberto Koichi Aparicio out with a cruciate ligament injury. Aparicio’s absence has been felt in recent weeks given his command in the centre of the park. His return is not expected until late December 2025, which means coach Hernán Lisi will need to adjust the team’s tactics accordingly.

There are no suspensions for CD UT Cajamarca, which is a relief for the coaching staff. However, the injury to Aparicio will undoubtedly affect their midfield dynamics and limit their creativity and defensive stability in the upcoming matches. They will need other players to step up in his absence to stabilize their season.

CD UT Cajamarca Tactics and Formation

CD UT Cajamarca Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Jarlin Quintero
• Midfield Trio: Andre Vasquez, Piero Serra, Cristian Mejía
• Defensive Strength: Two clean sheets in their last five games.
• Notable Strategy: Scoring most goals in the 31-45 minute interval this season.

CD UT Cajamarca’s 4-2-3-1 formation places a strong emphasis on maintaining a robust defensive line while allowing their midfield to orchestrate play. Key forward Jarlin Quintero leads the attacking efforts with his impressive goal-scoring form. In midfield, the trio of Andre Vasquez, Piero Serra, and Cristian Mejía play pivotal roles in both attack and defence.

Despite the occasional defensive lapses, having secured two clean sheets in their last five matches indicates their potential for maintaining solidity at the back. A special focus seems to be on capitalizing just before halftime, where they have scored most of their goals this season, aiming to catch opponents off-guard.

Cienciano Team Analysis

Cienciano Recent Performance

In their last five outings in the Primera Division, Cienciano have exhibited a rollercoaster of performances with a result sequence of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses (WDLWL). Just recently, they faced a tough 2-0 defeat against FBC Melgar but beforehand clinched a significant 2-1 victory over Alianza Lima.

Their offensive capabilities are illustrated by an average of 1.80 goals scored per match in their last five games. However, their defence has shown vulnerabilities, keeping only one clean sheet during this period.

• Clean Sheets: 1 clean sheet in the last five matches.
• Goal Scoring: An average of 1.80 goals per game, showcasing their offensive talent.
• Defense Challenges: Recent matches have exposed their defensive fragility.

Despite their fluctuating form, Cienciano’s ability to find the net consistently makes them a formidable opponent. They will look to build on their recent successes while tightening up at the back.

Cienciano Key Players

Cienciano will be looking towards their top scorer, Alejandro Hohberg, who has netted 3 goals this season. Hohberg’s experience and influence in the attacking third will be critical in breaking down CD UT Cajamarca’s defence.

Another key player is Beto da Silva, who, along with Hohberg, will be instrumental in creating scoring opportunities and applying pressure on the opposition’s backline. A significant matchup on the pitch will be between Cienciano’s attacking force and CD UT Cajamarca’s defensive unit, especially considering the away team’s scoring form.

Expected lineup for Cienciano:

• Goalkeeper: Ignacio Barrios
• Defenders: Yimy Gamero, Leonel Galeano, Rudy Palomino
• Midfielders: Cristian Neira, Claudio Torrejon, Gonzalo Aguirre, Luis Benites
• Attackers: Alejandro Hohberg, Beto da Silva, Osnar Noronha

Their balanced mix of experienced and dynamic players will be pivotal in securing a favourable result.

Cienciano Suspensions & Injuries

Cienciano faces a notable absence in their lineup, with Juan Romagnoli out due to a ligament injury. Romagnoli’s potential return remains doubtful, which could affect Cienciano’s midfield depth and creativity, essential traits they sometimes rely on to unlock opposition defences.

Fortunately, there are no suspensions for Cienciano heading into the match against CD UT Cajamarca. Therefore, coach Carlos Desio can field most of his preferred players, albeit with the midfield lacking the usual dynamism Romagnoli brings.

Other players will need to fill the creativity gap and ensure the team maintains its offensive and defensive balance, minimizing the impact of Romagnoli’s absence.

Cienciano Tactics and Formation

Cienciano Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 3-4-2-1
• Key Forward: Osnar Noronha
• Midfield Quartet: Cristian Neira, Claudio Torrejon, Gonzalo Aguirre, Luis Benites
• Defensive Strength: Despite their fluctuation in form, they managed to keep a clean sheet only once in the last five matches.
• Notable Strategy: Scoring consistently, averaging 1.80 goals in recent games.

Cienciano’s preferred 3-4-2-1 formation focuses on a solid back three, supported by a dynamic midfield that can transition quickly from defence to attack. Key forward Osnar Noronha spearheads the attack, drawing on support from Alejandro Hohberg and Beto da Silva to create and convert opportunities. The midfield quartet is expected to provide both defensive cover and offensive thrusts, crucial in maintaining balance on the pitch.

This formation allows them flexibility in both attacking and defending, yet their defensive line needs to stand firm against CD UT Cajamarca’s offensive threats. The ability to score consistently will be pivotal in this encounter.
