The Aserrí manager attacks this game with the team placed 5th so far. In the visitors dressing room Santa Rosa are in 8th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Aserrí form and stats
Two Liga de Ascenso home games so far for Aserrí, who are yet to win here. Only 2 points so far. Three draws in a row here for Aserrí, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
Happy days for Aserrí in their previous game, a Liga de Ascenso match away at Municipal Liberia (placed 9th) that ended with a 4-3 victory. Before that, Aserrí drew at home versus Puntarenas.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Aserrí has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Santa Rosa form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga de Ascenso travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Santa Rosa, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The AD Cofutpa game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Santa Rosa's last game was the home draw against AD Cartagena (3-3). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Carmelita wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Santa Rosa, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Santa Rosa have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
