Deportivo Saprissa form and stats

Let's have a look at how Deportivo Saprissa performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 7 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded 22 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 5 and lost 5 with 9/14 goals scored/conceded. The visitors' first away game in the Primera Division ended in defeat. Last season Deportivo Saprissa had these away match statistics: Played 11; won 5, drew 3 and lost 3.

Deportivo Saprissa lost away at Pérez Zeledón (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That loss was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Alajuelense (after extra-time)'s place.

0 goals so far away for Deportivo Saprissa, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
