The visiting Deportivo Saprissa side should be favourites in this visit to Grecia, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.
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!
17-8-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Deportivo Saprissa when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 33 matches are 56-39 (scored/conceded).
Grecia form and stats
Grecia have collected 8 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 2-2-3.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 188 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Reyes was the last player to find the net.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Grecia, who played 0-0 against Sporting San Jose. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at ADR Jicaral.
Grecia has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Grecia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Deportivo Saprissa form and stats
Playing away, Deportivo Saprissa have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Primera Division this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Saprissa, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Herediano (placed 2nd) in the Primera Division last time out. Before that, Deportivo Saprissa travelled to Santos de Guapiles and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
The schedule is very tough for Saprissa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Concacaf League game at Marathón is waiting in only three days.
Saprissa are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Deportivo Saprissa have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Grecia one win, four draws and Deportivo Saprissa five victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Grecia missing players
