Alianza Lima is gearing up for a crucial showdown in the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, as they welcome Universidad de Chile to the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium for a quarterfinal clash.
While the blue-and-white side has stumbled in Liga 1, most recently falling 4-3 at home to Deportivo Garcilaso, a setback that knocked them from the upper tier of the table and sparked criticism over their home form, the continental stage has told a different tale.
In continental play, Alianza has looked composed and convincing, brushing aside tough opponents and fueling excitement among their supporters. Meanwhile, the Blues will need to shake off the euphoria of their Super Cup triumph over Colo Colo and the weariness that came with that hard-fought victory to stay focused on the task ahead.

Team news & squads
Alianza Lima team news
Coach Nestor Gorosito will have a full squad at his disposal for this decisive encounter, with Paolo Guerrero being the most significant doubt. However, Piero Cari is back in the fold. The match could also mark Pedro Aquino's debut in the continental competition. Carlos Zambrano and Renzo Garces will also return, having been suspended in Liga 1.
Veterans like Kevin Quevedo, Paolo Guerrero, Piero Cari, Renzo Garces, and Carlos Zambrano are expected to anchor the lineup, with their experience and pedigree vital in handling the pressure and pushing for a positive result at Matute.
Universidad de Chile team news
Gustavo Alvarez's side will be looking to grab a positive result that puts them in a strong position ahead of the second leg in Coquimbo. Universidad de Chile will aim for either a draw or a win, leaning on the experience of their squad and the tactical discipline of their midfield to control the game.
One familiar face returns to Alianza Lima this week: Sebastian Rodríguez. The beloved "Bigote" admitted he expects mixed emotions facing his former team and reconnecting with the Victoria faithful after leaving last season.
The Chileans are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 shape, with Gabriel Castellon in goal; Fabián Hormazábal, Franco Calderón, and Matías Zaldivia forming the back three; a midfield of Maximiliano Guerrero, Marcelo Diaz, Charles Aranguiz, Matías Sepúlveda, and Javier Altamirano; and Lucas Assadi paired with Nicolás Guerra leading the attack.
