Limón form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Limón, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Primera Division, have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Limón with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Sporting San José game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Stress levels are on the rise for Limón's attacking players as they have now played 225 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Vizcaino was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Limón in their previous match, an away game at Herediano that ended in defeat 0-2.

Preceding that match was a defeat to San Carlos (0-3).

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

The Limón fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Limón with 22 goals conceded in these matches.
