Alianza Lima will face Juan Pablo II today in Chongoyape, as part of the eighth round of the Liga 1 Clausura Tournament 2026. The match will kick off at 15:00 hours, and both teams are looking to strengthen their position in the standings.
The confirmed lineups are as follows: Alianza Lima will present Duarte; Advíncula, Garcés, Díaz, Huamán; Pavez, Gaibor, Gentile, Vélez; E. Castillo, Girotti. Meanwhile, Juan Pablo II will lineup Vega; Agurto, Míguez, Almirón, Reyna; E. Ramírez, Flores, Rojas, N. Ramírez; Goycochea, Pósito.
Pablo Guede, head coach of Alianza Lima, commented on his preparation for the match and preferred not to make comments about previous results. The temperature in Chongoyape is at 31 degrees, which could influence the players’ performance.
In the standings, Alianza Lima occupies the ninth place with 12 points and urgently needs a victory to enter the fight for the top positions, especially after Universitario’s draw in their last match, who will be their next rival at Matute.
Alianza Lima arrives at this match after suffering its first home defeat against Deportivo Garcilaso, undermining the team’s ambitions in the Clausura Tournament. Additionally, Paolo Guerrero will be unavailable due to an injury that will keep him off the field for two weeks.
Juan Pablo II, on the other hand, has shown remarkable progress after an uncertain start. Their last victory against Los Chankas (3-4) and a convincing win against ADT have strengthened their position in the league. The challenge will be to maintain that performance against a more experienced rival like Alianza Lima.
The match will be exclusively broadcast on L1MAX, available through various operators, thus removing viewing limitations. Moreover, the official Liga 1 Play app will allow fans to follow the match live from mobile devices and computers, while Infobae Peru will provide comprehensive journalistic coverage.
This match will take place in a stadium with a capacity for 3,000 spectators. The recent encounters between both teams in Liga 1 have seen Alianza Lima hold a slight advantage.
