Struggling Puma Generaleña will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Juventud Escazuceña in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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 Puma Generaleña and Juventud Escazuceña.
Puma Generaleña form and stats
Puma Generaleña have played three Liga de Ascenso home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. All in all it has been a very rough period for Puma Generaleña who hasn’t won a game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Carmelita, 93 days ago. The home fans are hungry for more even though Puma Generaleña have been steadily collecting points here at Estadio Municipal de Jacó through three straight draws.
In their previous game, the manager E. Carvajal led his Puma Generaleña to a defeat in the Liga de Ascenso match away at CS Uruguay de Coronado. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Municipal de Jacó. Before that, Puma Generaleña drew at home versus Santa Ana.
The Puma Generaleña fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
Juventud Escazuceña form and stats
Things could have gone better for Juventud Escazuceña in their Liga de Ascenso away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Juventud Escazuceña's last game was the home draw against Curridabat (3-3). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Consultants Moravia's place.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Curridabat was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A quick return to home after this game, as Juventud Escazuceña are hosting Santa Ana in the Liga de Ascenso only four days away.
Juventud Escazuceña find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Juventud Escazuceña have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
