The league table in Primera Division tells a story about these teams so far, with Herediano leading Sporting San José by 3 points. Match preview to follow:
It's no vacation for neither Herediano nor Sporting San José as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Herediano form and stats
Herediano, who have the most points (11) at home in Primera Division, have collected 11 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 3-2-1. The last three games played by Herediano, regardless of arena, have all ended draws. Two draws in a row at home now for Herediano.
The spoils were shared in Herediano's previous game, also at home. Visiting San Carlos travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. 2-2 away at Grecia before that.
J. Brenes was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against San Carlos after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
A decent goal production from Herediano in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Herediano are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 6 matches.
Sporting San José form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Row Arias, the José manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
José won their last game, 2-0 versus Perez Zeledon played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cartagines wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
The attacking power of José when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. José struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 8 goals conceded from these games.
