Despite Alianza Lima already being the champion of the Torneo Apertura, they do not want to let their guard down and want to continue adding points for the accumulated and the Torneo Clausura. The victoriana squad will have an important measuring stick for the next date of the Copa Libertadores against ADT in Tarma, therefore, they want to take the match seriously.
Despite the important absences of Andrés Andrade and Franco Zanelatto, the team led by Guillermo Salas knows that they cannot afford to give away any action in the game. Therefore, they will go all out in Tarma as they have been doing at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium.
One of those aware of the importance of the match against the tarmeños for the future is Hernán Barcos. The 'Pirate' gave a strong message prior to the penultimate match of the Apertura fixture. "It's a difficult opponent, it won't be an easy match, that's why we have to stay focused and not relaxed. We shouldn't think that the championship is over, these points are useful for the accumulated and we have to go after them," were the words of the forward to Ovación.
It is worth noting that Alianza Lima has only lost twice on the road so far this season. The first was against Sport Huancayo and the second was recently against FBC Melgar.

Alianza Lima will play in the Copa Libertadores again when they face Atlético Mineiro at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium on Tuesday, June 6 at 19:00 hours in Peru and 21:00 hours in Brazil.
