It's an important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 7th and the visitors in 9th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Juventud Escazuceña and Turrialba. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game! Turrialba have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 6300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
