Limón form and stats

Limón's results here at Estadio Juan Gobán Quirós in the Primera Division have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

A strong away win for Limón against Herediano the last match, as K. McLean were on target. Nobody expected Limón to beat Herediano in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Preceding that match was the home game against ADR Jicaral that was lost 0-1.

Limón aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Juan Gobán Quirós in the league, with only 6 goals from 8 games. 8 goals have been conceded.

UCR form and stats

UCR, who have the most conceded goals (36) in Primera Division, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Primera Division, after 0-1-7 (8 played). Recent form does not give UCR much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Limón will be a tough nut to crack. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in UCR's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Two away games in a row for UCR, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-6 versus Alajuelense in the Primera Division. A 0-4 loss hosting Grecia before that.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Alajuelense was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. UCR can't defend away. 27 goals have been scored by the opposition in 8 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
