Overview
- The match is scheduled for Friday 18 September 2026 at 8:00 p.m. Peru time at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva and will be shown nationally on L1 MAX and L1 Play.
- Alianza arrives under pressure after a 2-1 loss to Universitario and a four-match winless streak that has narrowed the club's margin for error in the season.
- Coach Pablo Guede must cope without Nicolás Díaz, who has been absent from training for two weeks with an ear-related problem that the club has not officially detailed, and without Paolo Guerrero, who is recovering from a second-degree biceps femoral tear.
- Given those absences, reports say Guede is likely to field a back four similar to the one used against Universitario with Luis Advíncula, Marcos Huamán, Renzo Garcés and Mateo Antoni handling defensive duties.
- ADT arrives with no Clausura wins and only two points from eight games plus a postponed match versus Cienciano that leaves them with one game in hand and deepening their relegation risk in the accumulated table.
