On April 4th, Alianza Lima will face Universitario de Deportes in a highly anticipated classic of Peruvian football. This match will take place at the Estadio Monumental, where the blanquiazul team will seek to maintain its lead in the 2026 Apertura Tournament, following a recent 2-0 victory over Juan Pablo II. Eryc Castillo shone in that match by scoring both goals.
Pablo Guede, who coaches Alianza, has been in the spotlight this week, especially after rejecting an offer to join San Lorenzo. In his first experience in a classic, the Argentine coach expressed his optimism when discussing his team’s potential. “Classics are unique, it doesn’t matter how one team arrives compared to the other. These are matches that I enjoy. I believe we will compete,” he stated at a press conference.
Alianza Lima leads the table with 20 points, while Universitario has accumulated 15. The anticipation for this match is growing, especially after the break due to the Peruvian National Team’s matches, as we reported in this note.
