After the defeat and elimination from the Copa Sudamericana against Independiente, Alianza Lima needs to change their scheme if they want to earn their second three points in the Torneo Apertura and win the classic.

Bengoechea would opt for the younger players of his team who are being acclaimed by the Intimo fans. Kevin Quevedo, Erinson Ramirez, and Jose Cotrina would be in the starting lineup to provide the dynamism and mobility in their game that they need. Pacheco and Hohberg would be left out.

Meanwhile, Oscar Vilchez would be the first option for the Uruguayan strategist to occupy the midfield and would have Rinaldo Cruzado and Luis Ramirez to alternate.
