Guanacasteca form and stats

Guanacasteca have played three Primera Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The home regulars saw a 1-1 draw versus Alajuelense last time out and are looking for a win here.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Guadalupe (0-1).

The lack of attacking qualities in Guanacasteca means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Guanacasteca have conceded 4 in these home matches.
