The fan of Universitario de Deportes who goes to the stadium this Sunday knows that he is going to witness the end of a long bad streak. It will be like a rematch, a new opportunity to defeat Juan Reynoso and the clever strategies that his Melgar used every time he visited the Monumental.
Three victories and two draws in 5 matches is the result of a 'red and black' team that has seen the cream territory as a great place to climb to the top.

The story has to be different. Pedro Troglio has a defined way of playing and will try with a lot of vertical game to break the Arequipa defense. Achieving it is an obligation, but it will be complicated indeed.
Surely Juan Reynoso has already evaluated the matches in which the cream team faced defensive schemes and managed to steal points from them. The clear cases are the 1-1 draw against Municipal and Alianza Atletico.

Everything points to an exciting duel this Sunday at the Monumental. The cream team will give their best and hope to end the bad streak that has already exceeded 4 years. The last time they defeated Melgar at home was on April 24, 2013. It was a 3-0 victory with goals from Josimar Vargas, Carlos Olascuaga, and Raul Ruidiaz.
