Cienciano host Lanus in the Copa Sudamericana group stage, with the Argentine side arriving in Peru off the back of a result that has shifted the dynamic between these two clubs considerably.
Lanus won the first meeting 2-0, a result that piled pressure on Cienciano's Horacio Melgarejo and left the Peruvian side needing a response on home soil. That defeat was part of a difficult recent stretch for Cienciano, who have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions.
Mauricio Pellegrino's Lanus side come into this fixture with momentum. A 2-0 Copa Sudamericana win over Cienciano three days ago was followed by a 1-0 Liga Profesional victory over San Lorenzo, giving the Argentine club back-to-back wins and a renewed sense of purpose in the group.
Cienciano sit second in Copa Sudamericana Group B, but their form in the buildup to this match has been poor. Three straight defeats, including a 2-0 home loss to Juan Pablo II in the Peruvian Primera Division on July 25, have done little to inspire confidence ahead of a fixture they cannot afford to lose.
For Pellegrino, the challenge is maintaining the level that produced those back-to-back wins. Lanus have shown they can control this fixture, and Cienciano's recent fragility gives the visitors every reason to approach this game with ambition rather than caution.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Cienciano vs Lanus, including TV channel and live stream options.
