2 - 3 - 1 with 6-5. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Guanacasteca when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Guanacasteca play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

These are active days for the hometeam, as they had a game only four days ago in the Primera Division. This match was also played here at Estadio Carlos Ugalde Álvarez. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Guanacasteca have had more rest.
