Struggling Sporting San José will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Alajuelense in the upcoming league round. It’s 5th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for José and Alajuelense.
Sporting San José form and stats
3 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sporting San José, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Primera Division, have to build on here at Estadio Ernesto Rohrmoser Lahmann in the Primera Division.
José manager R. Row Arias and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Guadalupe in the Primera Division. Prior to that, an away loss at Herediano.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Santos de Guápiles are coming to town in three days.
The Sporting San José fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
Alajuelense form and stats
The away performances of Alajuelense have been very solid so far with 6 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats in the Primera Division. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue.
Impressive finishing from J. Moya (2) and F. Faerrón secured the home win 4-1 against Cartaginés in their previous game. Before that, Alajuelense secured a home win against Cibao with the score 3-0.
A new game in only three days for Alajuelense, the Primera Division home match versus Limón. Busy days.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 16 goals in 6 league games away this season. 6 goals have been conceded by Alajuelense in these games.
