Alliance Lima
Alliance Lima is playing for their lives in the next seven remaining matches and, in order to achieve their main objective - winning the Clausura Tournament title to avoid going to the playoffs - their coach, Pablo Begoechea, has already put the strategy into motion.
The coach needs to win their two away matches (against Sport Huancayo and Juan Aurich) and sweep the 5 games they will have in the capital city. Another stumble by the leader, Garcilaso, would also play in their favor. The coach knows it all.

With the absences of injured players Óscar Vílchez and Carlos Ascues, as well as the suspended Paolo de La Haza and Rinaldo Cruzado, they will have to rely on a new starting eleven to face Thursday's match in Huancayo.
The coach of Alliance Lima knows that winning at 3,271 meters above sea level will be a titanic task, but he doesn't see it as impossible (in the Verano Tournament, they won 2-1). However, he warned his defenders about the bravado of the 'Rojo Matador'.
"Huancayo has good strikers like Montes and Preciado. We also have to be attentive to Blas López. They are a strong team," said the blanquiazul coach, who has been undefeated for eight games in a row.
