Guanacasteca form and stats

3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Guanacasteca so far this season.

A nice win for Guanacasteca last time playing, versus Sporting San Jose. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with A. Contreras scoring for the victors.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Deportivo Saprissa the opponent.

The Guanacasteca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Guanacasteca's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Cartaginés form and stats

2-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cartaginés in their Primera Division matches away.

Cartaginés delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Grecia (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Primera Division game. The draw against Grecia came from a losing position. The Cartaginés manager G. Segura Mora brought on D. Sánchez as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at ADR Jicaral.

Cartaginés are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 5 games (in the league). The Cartaginés manager G. Segura Mora has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Cartaginés - Guanacasteca 1-1 was the product when this pair of participants previously did battle, some time ago this season.
