It's still early in the Primera Division season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Pérez Zeledón - Santos de Guápiles preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Pérez Zeledón form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Pérez Zeledón's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Polideportivo de Pérez Zeledón.
Zeledón faced defeat in their previous match, away at Herediano (1-2). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Guadalupe in a game that was won 3-2.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Zeledón have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost two.
Pérez Zeledón has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Santos de Guápiles form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Primera Division for Santos de Guápiles with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Guápiles, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Alajuelense (placed 1st). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Grecia.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Santos de Guápiles in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Guápiles, one draw and one defeat.
It's early days yet, but Santos de Guápiles has scored 3 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
