Grecia form and stats

Three Primera Division home games done for Grecia, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Grecia has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Celorio and the players.

The Grecia crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 3-5 to Cartaginés here at Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez. A goal frenzy last time out for Grecia, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Cartaginés. Fun stuff to watch!

Prior to that, an away loss at Puntarenas.

Early season league goal statistics from Grecia's 3 home games: 3 goals, 9 conceded.

Cartaginés form and stats

Playing away, Cartaginés have won 1 game, drawn 2 and suffered 1 defeat in the Primera Division this season.

Cartaginés play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-3 victory visiting Grecia (placed 4th). Yippee; their first three points in the league after six matches not winning. As you can tell from the result, the match against Grecia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Perez Zeledon wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Will both teams score? This club's most recent fixtures suggest that, having played 6 league games in a row with one or more goals from each side.

Cartaginés's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Grecia - Cartaginés 3-5 was the story when this pair of squads last did battle, also in this season.
