Innovative managers, contrasting styles
Both of these managers are relatively new to their teams, bringing different ideas with them and creating very different styles of play.
Jaime Serna’s appointment at UCV Moquegua has seen them win a home game under his tenure, while Diego Ripacolli has brought a fresh approach to Asociacion Deportiva Tarma since his appointment.
Moquegua have shown themselves to be a pragmatic and direct team, using a 4-3-3 formation which allows them to pack the midfield and defend as a unit, or use the wide attackers to transition quickly. When they need to be more defensive, they revert to a more defensive setup that allows them to stay solid at the back while still having the pace to counter attack.
Asociacion Deportiva Tarma, meanwhile, like to press high and transition quickly, preferring to play either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 system that lets them use their width and physicality to the max. For further analysis, this UCV Moquegua vs Asociacion Deportiva Tarma preview will help understand the tactical battle between the two sides.
