This Sunday, Alianza Lima faces Deportivo Garcilaso for the last match of the Clausura Tournament in the Liga 1 Betsson. Yes, a crucial match for Mauricio Larriera's team, who will try to fight for the second title of the season, although they are aware that they will depend on other results to be crowned three-time national champions without the need to play any playoffs. Currently, the blanquimorados have 34 points and are two points away from Universitario, the leader.
Although the records of the visits of the blanquiazules to the imperial city have not been the best in the last ten years, the blanquiazules have not lost in their recent three games in the Inca city, more than enough reason to be hopeful for a good result away from home.
It is worth mentioning that Alianza Lima will visit Deportivo Garcilaso for the first time in history, so they will try to start the record against the celestes on the right foot, who are fighting for their qualification to an international tournament in the 2024 season.
Pay attention to a detail, the blanquiazules had two matches in the imperial city in the current season, drawing 1-1 with Cusco FC and, subsequently, drawing 0-0 with Cienciano. Both matches took place last August, at the Garcilaso de la Vega stadium.

Alianza Lima's Schedule
In case Universitario de Deportes or Sporting Cristal win the Clausura Tournament, they will automatically reach the final. According to RPP, the first and second leg playoffs will be played on November 4th and 8th. However, the order of the stadiums where these matches will take place will depend on Alianza Lima, the leader of the overall standings.
Now, if Melgar wins the second competition of the year, semifinals will be played against either the cremas or the rimenses (depending on the results they get in their last matches). If that's the case, the scheduled dates for the matches would be November 5th and 8th, while the first and second leg finals would be postponed until November 26th and December 3rd.
