AD Tarma vs Cienciano: team news and expert analysis
The club from the Junín region finished 10th last season. They matched that result in the Apertura, collecting 20 points from 17 rounds. Very little went their way in the summer, with just a couple of draws amid a string of defeats. Alianza Lima comfortably won 2-0 in their most recent outing.
The Cusco side collected 50 points in 2025 and finished in the top eight only on tiebreakers. That was enough to earn them a place in the Copa Sudamericana, where the Peruvians reached the quarter-finals. They beat Montevideo City 2-0 at home, but then conceded three unanswered goals away. They also posted the third-best record in the Apertura. However, their form in the current phase of the season has been far worse: just seven points from their previous eight matches.
ADT are currently averaging 1.04 goals scored and 1.58 conceded. The Copa Sudamericana participants average 1.76 goals at home and 1.48 conceded on the domestic stage.
