Alianza Lima from Peru will open their Copa Libertadores campaign at home, against Uruguayan side Nacional in Group F of the competition this Friday. Group F seems a fairly balanced pool and these two, just like Venezuelan side Estudiantes de Merida and Argentines, Racing Club, will target getting to the second round. These two sides have however not had the best starts to their domestic campaigns, and will be hoping the same is not replicated in the continental competition. In the Peru league, Alianza Lima have managed seven points from a possible 15 while they have scored five and conceded six goals in the process. For Nacional, two matches into the domestic season and they have managed one point; they have conceded four and scored two goals. Alianza Lima have two wins and two losses in their last five matches and have kept two clean sheets in the process. They have not scored more than a goal in their last four matches and rget have conceded two or more in two of the last five. They have two straight home wins, both ending 1-0 and will be hoping they can register a first home win in nine Copa Libertadores matches. Actually, Alianza have nine losses and one win in 12 home matches in the competition. Home and away, they have no win in their last 17 Copa Libertadores matches and they have five straight losses ahead of this game, having failed to score in four of those. They have conceded 11 goals in five Libertadores matches, and scored one. These two sides last met in the Libertadores in 2012, and each won its home game 1-0.

Meanwhile, Nacional head to this clash winless in their last four matches, and having conceded at least two goals in each of their last four matches. They have however scored in four of their last five matches and will be hoping to lace that with some better defending in this Libertadores clash. In their two away matches this year, Nacional have suffered straight losses, conceding six goals and scoring two. They have not won any of their last three Copa Libertadores matches but carry a much better run compared to Alianza, with five wins in the last 10. They have three wins and have scored in six of their last 10 away matches in the competition. Nacional have not scored in their last two Copa Libertadores matches but have five clean sheets in the last 10.
