Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Grecia in 8th and Cartaginés in 7th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Grecia form and stats
2-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Grecia so far this season. Grecia have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
A good away victory last time out for Grecia, who won 4-0 against UCR (placed 11th). Before that, Grecia drew at home versus Santos de Guápiles.
As mentioned above, Grecia "killed" UCR in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Grecia has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. On the other hand, Grecia have conceded 7 goals.
Cartaginés form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cartaginés so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
Cartaginés are travelling again after losing away to Deportivo Saprissa in their previous match (1-3). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs UCR.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 10 goals have been conceded by Cartaginés in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Cartaginés - Grecia 4-3. Grecia-Cartaginés H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Grecia one win, Cartaginés four wins, five draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
