Alianza Lima could become national champion and achieve the long-awaited 'tri' this weekend against Deportivo Garcilaso in Cusco. In order to do so, the team must win and hope for the stumble of Universitario and Melgar in the last round of the 2023 Clausura Tournament. For this match, coach Mauricio Larriera will not be able to count on some key players.

Franco Zanelatto and Carlos Zambrano will not be part of the team due to injury, and Gino Peruzzi is suspended. In that sense, the coach is analyzing all the factors to build his starting lineup for this crucial match.

Libero learned that Mauricio Larriera plans to save players for the match against Deportivo Garcilaso in order to "refresh" his squad for the upcoming finals.

However, this decision is not definitive. Alianza Lima's coach wants to continue working with his squad to define his starting eleven. Mauricio Larriera made it clear that they will fight until the end to win the Clausura title and achieve the three-peat in the Liga 1.

Hernán Barcos is key for Larriera's gameplan. The forward serves as a focal point where Alianza Lima can rest and controls the timing for the transition from defense to attack.

Alianza Lima has played two matches in Cusco this 2023 and remains undefeated with two draws.

The match between Deportivo Garcilaso and Alianza Lima will take place on Sunday, October 29th at the Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco, starting at 15:00 hours in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
