A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Carmelita form and stats

Carmelita, who have the fewest points (2) away in Primera Division, have only collected 2 points from their away games after 0-2-9 (11 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Carmelita, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Guadalupe game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 15 away games in a row.

Carmelita play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Cartaginés. Prior to that match, the Carmelita manager F. Palomeque faced defeat in their match when travelling to Limon and losing 0-2.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 11 away games, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Carmelita have conceded 20 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
