This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera Division, Limón holding 10th place and Carmelita lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Limón and Carmelita.
Limón form and stats
When playing at home, Limón have managed 5 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games.The fans are hoping that Limón will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the Primera Division game against San Carlos. Ahead of that match, Limón won a home game hosting Cartagines (1-0).
The manager R. Allen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Grecia in only three days.
The Limón fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Limón are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Juan Gobán Quirós, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 9 matches.
Carmelita form and stats
The hunting on away grounds hasn’t been very fruitful for Carmelita so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Carmelita, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Guadalupe game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.Carmelita's last game was the home draw against UCR (1-1). Before that, Carmelita travelled to Guadalupe and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Carmelita manager F. Palomeque as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Cartagines.
The attacking power of Carmelita when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored in 9 matches. In the opposite end, Carmelita have conceded 16 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Carmelita - Limón 2-0 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Limón, 3 draws and 5 wins for Carmelita.Top Goalscorers
