Pérez Zeledón form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pérez Zeledón so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-8 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Pérez Zeledón are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
There might be some fixture complaints from Pérez Zeledón as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Primera Division match against Cartagines (1-2).
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Grecia.The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Pérez Zeledón's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
