This match features two teams living in the basement of the Liga de Ascenso, AD Cartagena holding 7th place and Guanacasteca lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

AD Cartagena form and stats

3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga de Ascenso numbers at home for AD Cartagena, who have the most conceded goals (28) in Liga de Ascenso, so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for AD Cartagena with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Carmelita game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for AD Cartagena, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The AD Cartagena fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga de Ascenso game also here at Estadio Guillermo Vargas Roldán: A 2-3 defeat against Municipal Liberia (placed 5th). Heartbreak before that as AD Cartagena lost 1-5 at Puntarenas's place.

The AD Cartagena fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. On the other hand, AD Cartagena have conceded 10 goals.

Guanacasteca form and stats

There's been little loot from Guanacasteca's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Liga de Ascenso. Guanacasteca, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Liga de Ascenso, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Guanacasteca, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Guanacasteca failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga de Ascenso home match vs Carmelita (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-3. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus AD Cofutpa that ended 1-1.

Guanacasteca are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games (in the league). For Guanacasteca, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
