Herediano duel Alajuelense for recognition and success.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Concacaf League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Aguila. 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.
