Another interesting game in the Liga de Ascenso. Santa Rosa is in the 10th position after playing four matches. They welcome AD Cartagena who are placed 1st after 16 games.
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.
Santa Rosa form and stats
Santa Rosa are yet to win a home game this season, having collected 2 points from their first 2 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here.Santa Rosa's last game was hosting Guanacasteca (placed 4th) and winning 2-1. Heartbreak before that as Santa Rosa lost 0-1 at Municipal Liberia's place.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Santa Rosa at home. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
AD Cartagena form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 0 losses. It's a growing despair in AD Cartagena as they have recorded three consecutive losses.The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Liga de Ascenso match played at their home ground. AD Cartagena suffered a 1-2 loss to ADR Jicaral (placed 3rd). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Santa Ana's place.
A new game in only two days for AD Cartagena, the Liga de Ascenso home match versus Municipal Liberia. Busy days.
The AD Cartagena manager has got the team scoring on the road, with 18 away goals in 8. As opposed to that, AD Cartagena have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: AD Cartagena - Santa Rosa 2-1. Last eight meetings between the teams: Santa Rosa won 3, AD Cartagena won 5 and 0 draws.Santa Rosa missing players
