There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Primera Division table so far. Here's the San Carlos - Pérez Zeledón latest:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Pérez Zeledón have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-3-7 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
San Carlos form and stats
When playing at home in the Primera Division, San Carlos, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Primera Division, have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games.
No payout for San Carlos in their previous match, an away game at Grecia that ended in defeat 0-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Santos de Guápiles in a game that was won 2-0.
The manager C. Restrepo Isaza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Guadalupe in only three days.
The San Carlos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Carlos have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Pérez Zeledón form and stats
Pérez Zeledón, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Primera Division, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-0-5 (7 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Zeledón have lost on their last two travels.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Limon.
Pérez Zeledón lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
A quick return to home after this game, as Zeledón are hosting Cartagines in the Primera Division only three days away.
Zeledón have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 9 goals have been scored. The Zeledón manager J. Chávez has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Carlos, one draw and four wins for Pérez Zeledón. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
