Alajuelense welcomes San Francisco in this Concacaf League 8th Finals. Read on for key stats and predictions!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting San Francisco have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-4-7 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as San Francisco have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Alajuelense form and stats
When playing at home in the Primera Division, Alajuelense have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games.
The fans are hoping that Alajuelense will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Primera Division game against San Carlos. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Sporting San Jose.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Primera Division game versus Limon in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez.
A decent goal production from Alajuelense in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Alajuelense have conceded 8 in these home matches.
San Francisco form and stats
Francisco's mission in Concacaf League last season failed in the preliminary round against Alianza.The seven points San Francisco have gathered from their first three away trips in the Lpf is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Francisco has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
San Francisco play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Sporting San Miguelito. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Deportivo Universitario.
F. Mena came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Sporting San Miguelito last time out, making the manager G. Soto feel like a tactical genius.
After this away game Francisco return home for a Lpf game against Arabe Unido. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Francisco are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). Francisco's manager G. Soto has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
