Andy Pando

Andy Pando has not been accurate in front of goal in the last matches of the Clausura Tournament. The forward of Alianza Lima has not scored in three months and this afternoon, if he starts against Ayacucho FC, he will try to break the curse and score his fifth goal of the year.

"I have not been able to score, but I have been important with my play outside the area. Also, I think I have been a bit unlucky because when I'm on a roll, all the shots go in," said the 'Bear'. For Pando, today's match is crucial to not distance themselves from the top places. "What happened against UTC is in the past, we have to win today to stay close to the teams above," said the Alianza Lima forward.

The team plays better away from Matute and tomorrow they hope to win in Ciudad de Cumaná.

Alianza Lima will have to prove that this season they are better playing a supporting role rather than being the main character. With the last 1-0 defeat against UTC, the team confirms their poor performance at home, where they have already lost 16 points, something that contrasts with their current form when playing away, as they have obtained 20 points.

Changes for the team

Roberto Mosquera will make some modifications for this match. The most important one will be in the midfield of Alianza Lima, where 'Neka' Vílchez will play as '10' after the return of Luis Ramírez, who has served his suspension, and Julio Landauri will take the place of Willyan Mimbela. The defense will also have changes, as Luis Trujillo will come in for Francisco Duclós.

In the forward of Alianza Lima, Lionard Pajoy will play in a deeper position, while Andy Pando will be the reference in the area.

'Headless foxes'. With Luis Revilla on the substitute bench, after the resignation of Edgard Ospina, the 'foxes', who lost in the last round 2-0 in Sullana, will face Alianza Lima with the sole mission of stopping their fall on the table. In the Ayacucho team, Jesús Chávez will be the novelty, while the doubt is Henry Colán, who could replace Jeickson Reyes.

Data: 932 minutes played by the 'Bear' this year and he has scored four goals.
