UCR hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 12th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting San Carlos holds 8th place with 23 pts.
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 UCR and San Carlos.
This stadium uses grass, unlike San Carlos's home stadium. The visitors last 26 games on grass have ended in 6 wins, 5 draws and 15 losses.
UCR form and stats
The story so far in the Primera Division for UCR, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Primera Division, at their home stadium (Estadio Jorge Hernán Cuty Monge) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Game days at Estadio Jorge Hernán Cuty Monge have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for UCR as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
UCR lost their last game at ADR Jicaral (placed 5th) after a 0-5 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Herediano that was lost 1-2.
As you see from the result above, UCR suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The UCR fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the UCR defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
San Carlos form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That’s the product of San Carlos playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season.
The manager C. Restrepo Isaza was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Carlos Ugalde Álvarez. Carlos suffered a 1-3 loss to Cartagines (placed 4th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Santos de Guapiles.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Carlos are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Carlos manager C. Restrepo Isaza has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
