The visiting Herediano side should be favourites in this visit to Grecia, as the away team holds a 6 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.

Herediano could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primera Division game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at San Carlos. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
