"With the 'U' until the end": Universitario resumed its work with a view to the match against Atlético Grau.

There is concern in Ate! Universitario de Deportes only scored one point out of the last six they played (lost to ADT 1-0 in Tarma and drew 1-1 with Deportivo Garcilaso at the Monumental) in the Clausura Tournament of the Liga 1 Betsson . This way, Sporting Cristal reached the first place of the tournament: the team led by Tiago Nunes, after the victory against Deportivo Municipal, took a three-point lead over the merengues.

In the midst of this context and after giving the team two days off due to the series of matches, Jorge Fossati summoned his players this morning at the Campo Mar facilities, where they resumed their training sessions with a view to the next challenge they will face: Atlético Grau at the Municipal Stadium of Bernal (Piura).

At Universitario de Deportes, they are aware that they can't continue to drop points, so it will be crucial for them to win the match against a team that knows how to handle their home advantage, relying on the intense heat of the venue in the north of our country. Therefore, the club shared a photo of the united team on social media with the following phrase: "With 'U' until the end".

That's why the coaching staff of the Uruguayan strategist will plan the match against the 'Patrimonio de Piura' very well, as any other result -other than victory- will greatly complicate the merengues' aspirations to fight for the national title at the end of the season.

Universitario's Schedule

After the draw against Deportivo Garcilaso at the Monumental, Universitario de Deportes must focus on their next domestic challenge. Their opponent will be Atlético Grau, whom they will visit on Sunday, August 27th, starting at 1:00 PM (Peruvian time), at the Municipal Stadium of Bernal. This is one of the away games remaining for the merengue team.

It is worth mentioning that the "cremas" urgently need to obtain a victory. The team lost the first place in the Clausura 2023 Tournament. Additionally, they have gone two consecutive matches without a win. For this reason, they must earn three points if they don't want to abandon the fight for the national title.
