Universitario de Deportes host Los Chankas at the Estadio Monumental on Sunday, August 23, in the final match of week six in the Torneo Clausura.
Héctor Cúper's Universitario side enter the match in second place with 10 points, sitting just one point behind league leaders Alianza Lima as they aim to capture top spot in the standings.
Los Chankas, based in the Andean city of Andahuaylas, travel to Lima seeking to regain momentum in the Clausura competition. A victory for the visiting team would keep them in contention for the tournament title. Both clubs are also competing closely in the overall aggregate table, where only two points separate them in the fight for second place.
Universitario de Deportes are one of the most successful football clubs in Peru. The team plays its home matches at the Estadio Monumental in the capital city of Lima, a stadium featuring a capacity of more than 80,000 spectators. The Peruvian Liga 1 season is divided into two separate national tournaments, the Apertura and Clausura, with cumulative points counted toward total postseason standings.
