San Carlos form and stats

San Carlos must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three games here at venue.

The San Carlos supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Grecia in Primera Division and win 4-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cartaginés (0-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from San Carlos's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won 1 match, drawn 0 and lost 0.

With an average of more than two goals per home game (6 in 3 games), San Carlos's attacking play is working. San Carlos have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Grecia form and stats

It's not happening yet for Grecia on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Grecia have lost on their last two travels.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Grecia, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-4 versus San Carlos. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Limón.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Grecia when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing 2 times, drawing 0 and winning 0 games.

Grecia has the goal stats of 2-7 (for/against) from 2 business trips at the early stages of this season.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; San Carlos - Grecia 4-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 6 wins for San Carlos, 1 draw and 3 wins for Grecia. Over 2,5 goals: 9 times; under 2,5 goals: 1 game.
