It is clear to indicate that the Liga 1 is already anticipating what these last two matchdays of the Apertura Tournament will be like, in which FBC Melgar is the most certain candidate to win this trophy in advance.
"For glory and beyond! With Melgar at the helm, the Liga 1 Apertura enters its final stretch, in which only one will be the winner of the first tournament of 2022," wrote Liga 1 on its social media.
That said, it is clear to mention that Melgar has two challenging matches ahead, which are key to taking the first step towards the 2022 national title: they will play at home against Atlético Grau and close as visitors against Alianza Atlético in Sullana.
Sport Huancayo will also not have an easy path in their quest to win the Apertura: they will play at home against Universitario and close as visitors against Sport Boys.
Finally, and not least important, Sporting Cristal will have two tough encounters in the final stretch of the tournament: at home against Alianza Atlético and they will close as visitors in Trujillo against a strong Carlos Mannucci.
