Alianza Lima holds the aggregate table lead after 24 matches but dropped a 0-1 result to Deportivo Garcilaso in the ongoing Clausura, allowing Universitario and Garcilaso to share the Clausura lead on 16 points after seven rounds. Multiple sides remain within striking distance on the accumulated standings, where point gaps stay narrow and the playoff format rewards strong finishes in either short tournament. Cienciano sits sixth overall despite a recent Clausura slump, buoyed by continental momentum, while lower-placed clubs like UTC and others carry implied probabilities near the frontrunners due to the league's two-phase structure and potential for late surges. Recent form swings and fixture congestion continue to compress the field.
