Universitario will host Sporting Cristal at the Estadio Monumental on Friday, August 7, in the most attractive fixture of matchday four in Peru's Torneo Clausura 2026.
Universitario, coached by Hector Cuper, are looking for a win to move up the standings after losing 2-0 away to Cienciano in Cusco in the previous round.
Sporting Cristal arrive in better form, having beaten Juan Pablo II 2-0 in their last match. That result put them fifth with 6 points, level with Universitario. Sporting Cristal are recovering after a difficult Torneo Apertura in which they finished far from the top places, and they were also recently eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana.
