Alajuelense welcomes Limón as clear favourites: Big betting preview

Competition: Costa Rica Primera Division
Date: Thu 21.March
Match begins: 02:05 (UTC)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Alajuelense are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 11th.

The hosts Alajuelense saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Primera Division. Thankfully the previous game, versus Cartagines, was also a home game. The away team is better rested. That game was an away game at Cartagines, so at least Alajuelense are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Limón form and stats

Limón has only collected 6 points from their away games after 1-3-7 (11 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Limón have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Grecia game.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Limón, facing their second straight away game. Especially as that game, in the Primera Division, ended a defeat 1-2 versus Herediano. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Santos de Guapiles wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Limón as they have only managed to score 10 times from 22 away games. The Limón manager R. Allen has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Limón - Alajuelense 1-1 earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Alajuelense won 5, Limón won 1 and 4 draws.
