There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Deportivo Saprissa leading Limón by 24 points.
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.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Limón's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on artifical turf have ended in 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses.
Deportivo Saprissa form and stats
Deportivo Saprissa have been very solid at home in the Primera Division so far, with 20 points collected from 8 matches (6-2-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Deportivo Saprissa has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá. We remember; it was Alajuelense.
Saprissa are returning here after visiting Santos de Guápiles in a Primera Division game and winning with a 4-2 scoreline. J. Venegas, M. Torres and C. Bolaños scored the goal(s). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Herediano in a game that was won 1-0.
A goal frenzy last time out for Deportivo Saprissa, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Santos de Guápiles. Fun stuff to watch!
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Deportivo Saprissa as they are travelling to their away game against Alajuelense in the Primera Division. That match is four days after this one.
The Saprissa manager W. Centeno Corea has got the team scoring with 17 from 8 home games in the league. Saprissa have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Limón form and stats
There's been little loot from Limón's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Primera Division. Limón only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
Limón's last game was the home draw against UCR (3-3). Prior to that match, the Limón manager L. Fallas Arias faced defeat when travelling to Guadalupe and losing 0-1.
Drawing 3-3 against UCR after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager L. Fallas Arias needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against UCR was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Limón manager L. Fallas Arias as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Perez Zeledon.
The visiting Limón have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 8 games. As opposed to that, Limón have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
