The pressure is high, especially after the 0-2 defeat against Tacna Heroica, which has taken a toll on the team's morale. The coach is under scrutiny, and fans expect an immediate reaction. On the other side, Estudiantil CNI is in better form, having achieved 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 5 matches, but they come off a stunning 9-0 victory against Deportivo Binacional, which has infused confidence and a desire to keep winning.
