Battling Grecia will be hoping to pull off a surprise win when they play enterprising Cartaginés in the next league fixture. It’s 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have not-so-high expectations.
- Grecia have the fewest scored goals (19) in Primera Division
- Cartaginés have won significantly less corners away then at home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Grecia form and stats
The story so far in the Primera Division for Grecia at their home stadium (Estadio Rafael Bolaños) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. When Grecia hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Alajuelense, Sporting San Jose and Deportivo Saprissa), they have won 2 of 5 matches!
Stress levels are on the rise for Grecia's attacking players as they have now played 298 minutes without scoring in a league game. Lesme was their last goal scorer.
Grecia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Guanacasteca.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Alajuelense that ended 0-0.Grecia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Grecia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Cartaginés form and stats
4-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cartaginés in their Primera Division matches away. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Cartaginés's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Sporting San Jose game.
Home advantage was not enough for Cartaginés in their previous game as they lost hosting Alajuelense, 0-5. Until that defeat this club had gained at least one point from eight league games in a row. Cartaginés lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Herediano at their stadium, the result 3-1.Cartaginés are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 17 times in 10 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Cartaginés have conceded 18 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Cartaginés - Grecia 2-0 was the product when these participants formerly did battle, some time ago this season. Head-to-head numbers (for the prior ten meetings): Grecia won three games, one match ended with a draw and Cartaginés got six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
