It's early days in the Primera Division and both Cartaginés and Grecia are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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 Cartaginés and Grecia.
Cartaginés form and stats
Cartaginés have less points than they have played home games in the Primera Division so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.
The Cartaginés crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Deportivo Saprissa here at Jose Rafael Fello Meza Ivankovich in a Primera Division match. Before that, Cartaginés played out a draw 0-0 when visiting UCR.
Cartaginés are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Alajuelense awaits in four days.
