Grecia form and stats

The visitors are W2-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division.

The manager J. Chávez was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Allen Riggioni Suárez. Grecia suffered a 1-4 loss to Alajuelense (placed 1st). A draw for Grecia before that, at their own venue hosting Limon (2-2).

Grecia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and seven defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Grecia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at ADR Jicaral is waiting in only four days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Grecia have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. 7 goals have been conceded by Grecia in these games.
