University vs Alianza Lima How many classics have been played

University vs. Alianza Lima: How many classics have been played and which team has won the most?

In front of the gates of a new edition of the Peruvian football classic, we tell you who the statistics favor.

This Sunday, February 19th, a new Peruvian football classic will be played. Universitario will clash with Alianza Lima in the 368th confrontation between the two. The problem with the television rights in League 1 and the suspension of the first two days meant that the most important game in our football is the third game of the season between the two teams (this game corresponds to date 5). Therefore, in this note we will review the figures that this traditional game has left us so far.

I’m in charge at home

Universitario and Alianza Lima have met 367 times, with a clearly favorable record for the blue and white. The Victorian team won 139 times, their “compadre” did the same 124 times and there were 104 draws.

In the local tournaments, whether amateur or professional, the intimates emerged victorious 104 times. The U, on the other hand, added three on 92 occasions. As if that weren’t enough, the Peruvian classic also knows how to play in friendlies: there the dominance is again white-blue with 31 wins. Universitario won 19 games and equalized in 25 games.

Things are changing outside

The rivalry between the Blue and Whites and the Meringues was not strictly limited to domestic tournaments, as both teams also competed in international tournaments. There’s the advantage for the Cremes: they won seven times (by Libertadores) and fell four times (two by Libertadores and two by Sudamericana), plus there were three draws.

And how do they fare at the gates?

In terms of goals, the intimates have scored far more goals than their classic rival. The Blue and Whites scored 487 goals and conceded 446. Of course, the player who has scored the most goals in this type of game is cream. It is about Teodoro ‘Lolo’ Fernández, who violated the fence of the ‘compadre’ on 29 occasions.
