Struggling Grecia will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Alajuelense in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It's no vacation for neither Grecia nor Alajuelense 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.
