This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera Division, UCR holding 12th place and Pérez Zeledón lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's no vacation for neither UCR nor Pérez Zeledón 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.
UCR can neither be promoted or relegated from Primera Division. Pérez Zeledón is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
UCR form and stats
UCR's results here at Estadio Ecologico in the Primera Division have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
The UCR fans got no joy from their last match, a Primera Division game also here at Estadio Ecologico: A 0-3 defeat against Alajuelense (placed 1st). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Guadalupe.
This is expected to be a close game, with UCR perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with UCR as a small favourite), we find eight games. UCR has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
The UCR fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Pérez Zeledón form and stats
There's been little loot from Pérez Zeledón's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Primera Division. Pérez Zeledón only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Pérez Zeledón who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Pérez Zeledón delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against ADR Jicaral (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Primera Division game. Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Cartaginés.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Pérez Zeledón in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Pérez Zeledón, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Pérez Zeledón are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 9 games (in the league). The Pérez Zeledón manager O. Royero has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
