Grecia form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Primera Division this season. Grecia have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez.

A nice win for Grecia last time playing, versus Sporting San José. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Amador and Lesme scoring for the victors. Finally, a league victory after three matches without one.

A defeat was the result before that one, 3-5 away at Santos de Guapiles.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Grecia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.

Goals, goals, goals? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league games with this team has seen at least three goals.

There will be little rest for Grecia after this match as they are travelling to Guadalupe for a Primera Division game in only three days.

The Grecia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches.

Guanacasteca form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Guanacasteca so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Guanacasteca, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Guanacasteca have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 193 minutes ago. Calabrese was the goal scorer.

Guanacasteca might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Perez Zeledon proved too strong as Guanacasteca slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Chorotega.

Prior to that match, the Guanacasteca manager Vita faced defeat when travelling to San Carlos and losing 0-1.

We have checked recent matches where Guanacasteca have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 5 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

After this away game Guanacasteca return home for a Primera Division game against Puntarenas. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Guanacasteca are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. The Guanacasteca manager Vita has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - two - two (Grecia wins - draws - Guanacasteca wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
