Seconds
Competition: Costa Rica Primera Division
Date: Sun 20.October
Match begins: 19:10 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Allen Riggioni (4000 seats)

Grecia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 11th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting Cartaginés holds 6th place with 23 pts.

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.

Grecia are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Cartaginés most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Grecia form and stats

Grecia, who have the most conceded goals (36) in Primera Division, have collected 15 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 4-3-2.

Grecia's last game was hosting Santos de Guápiles (placed 5th) and winning 3-1. Heartbreak before that as Grecia lost 0-1 at Alajuelense's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Grecia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 3.

The Grecia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 9 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Grecia defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Cartaginés form and stats

Cartaginés have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-2-4 (8 played).

The manager H. Medford was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Allen Riggioni. Cartaginés suffered a 1-2 loss to Deportivo Saprissa (placed 3rd). A draw for Cartaginés before that, at their own venue hosting Pérez Zeledón (2-2).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cartaginés playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 1 Cartaginés win, 1 draw and 8 defeats.

Cartaginés are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Cartaginés have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
