The visiting Deportivo Saprissa side should be favourites in this visit to Limón, as the away team holds a 10 point advantage from their seven league games this season.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Concacaf League. That game was a home fixture for Deportivo Saprissa, against Aguila. But now it's all about beating Limón!

This pitch has grass, which is not Deportivo Saprissa's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Deportivo Saprissa have performed like this: Played 28 matches resulting in 9 wins, 9 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 42-38 (scored/conceded).

Limón form and stats

Limón have played three Primera Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Limón has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Allen and the players.

Limón's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus San Carlos. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Herediano.

The Limón fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Limón have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Deportivo Saprissa form and stats

Deportivo Saprissa are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Deportivo Saprissa are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

The supporters enjoyed Deportivo Saprissa's previous game versus Aguila, a Concacaf League 2-0 win played at home. A draw for Deportivo Saprissa before that, at their own venue hosting Cartagines (2-2).

The schedule is very tough for Deportivo Saprissa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Concacaf League game at Aguila is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Deportivo Saprissa have conceded 6 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Limón-Deportivo Saprissa H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Limón 4 wins, Deportivo Saprissa 4 wins, 2 draws. 9 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
