An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 10th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
UCR form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Primera Division this season. UCR, who have the fewest points (5) at home in Primera Division, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Estadio Ecólogico de la UCR.
UCR lost their last game at Cartaginés (placed 6th) after a 3-4 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against ADR Jicaral with the scoreline 1-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how UCR have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won 1 time, drawn 1 and lost 1.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for UCR as they are travelling to their away game against Guadalupe in the Primera Division. That match is four days after this one.
UCR has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. UCR have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Grecia form and stats

Grecia's last game was the home draw against San Carlos (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Limón wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Grecia have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were W2-D3-L3.
