It's early days in the Primera Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It's no vacation for neither San Carlos nor UCR as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
