Competition: Costa Rica Primera Division
Date: Sun 29.September
Match begins: 21:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez (4000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Grecia languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting San Carlos will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Concacaf League. That game was also an away game, at Alianza. 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.

San Carlos play their home games on artificial turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for San Carlos when playing on grass are 11 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats from 27 matches. They have scored 34 goals and conceded 34 times in these games.

Grecia form and stats

3 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Grecia, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Primera Division, have to build on here at Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez in the Primera Division.

Grecia lost their last game at Limon (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline. In the match before that, Grecia hosted Herediano and drew the game 2-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Grecia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grecia as a small favourite), we find five games. Grecia has won 0 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

A decent goal production from Grecia in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Grecia with 15 goals conceded in these matches.

San Carlos form and stats

There's been little loot from San Carlos's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Primera Division. San Carlos only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

San Carlos play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Alianza. A 2-4 loss hosting Cartaginés before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with San Carlos playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 3 San Carlos wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

A new game in only four days for San Carlos, the Concacaf League home match versus Alianza. Busy days.
