Deportivo Saprissa have performed better than Grecia so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
It's no vacation for neither Saprissa nor Grecia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Grecia have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-1-5 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
