ANALYSIS: Cristal, Universitario, Alianza Lima, Melgar and the chances of the leading clubs to win the Clausura

The celestials continue to look down on everyone from the top with 32 points in 14 matches. But the albos are right there, behind, by just two units. Meanwhile, Universitario, although with fewer chances because they have not rested yet, are fourth, equaling Atlético Grau in points (28 each), and one behind Melgar (3rd, 29 pts.).

In the next matchday starting this Friday, Cristal will visit an inconsistent Sport Boys in Villa El Salvador who in the last five matches has obtained two victories, two defeats, and a draw. Alianza will do the same against Cienciano in Cusco with the goal of adding their fourth away victory from Lima (they defeated Grau in Piura, Mannucci in Trujillo, and Stein in Jaén). Meanwhile, la ‘U’ will host Melgar in a match that will determine the fate of the team from Ate.

Regardless of what happens in matchday 16 of the Clausura, everything indicates that for the fifth consecutive year, at least one of the three giants will be in the final for the national title. Alianza and Cristal defined the champion in 2018 (celeste celebration) and 2021 (blanquiazul celebration). The same clubs met in the semifinals of 2019, and it ended with a victorian smile. In 2020, the rimenses defeated Universitario in the final.

The trend of good results has caused the fans to return to the stadium. That is why, in La Victoria, they continue to extend the record for the highest attendance at Matute. ‘U’ plays with a spectacular crowd at the Monumental stadium. And Cristal does the same wherever they play: the Alberto Gallardo or the Nacional.

Despite what happened last Sunday outside the Nacional stadium with poor organization for the entry of cream fans into the sports venue, and the regrettable images of hooligan fights in different districts of Lima; the true fan - the one who supports the club and goes to the stadium exclusively to cheer - has reconnected with their beloved club. Being expectant that their team will win the title, fighting until the last matchdays, is one of the causes. In addition to the great marketing work that has been done around football.
