Struggling UCR will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying San Carlos in the upcoming league round. It's 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting San Carlos have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-6-11 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.

UCR form and stats

Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for UCR, who have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Primera Division, are 1-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).

The fans are hoping that UCR will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Primera Division game against Deportivo Saprissa (placed 2nd). 0-0 away at Herediano before that.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Primera Division game versus ADR Jicaral in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio Carlos Ugalde Álvarez.

UCR are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 attempts. On the other hand, UCR have conceded 6 goals.

San Carlos form and stats

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, San Carlos have produced an overall stat of 1-1-3 so far. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as San Carlos have lost on their last two travels.

The supporters enjoyed San Carlos's previous game versus Herediano (placed 4th), a Primera Division 1-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the San Carlos manager L. Marin faced defeat when travelling to Deportivo Saprissa and losing 1-3.

A quick return to home after this game, as San Carlos are hosting Cartaginés in the Primera Division only four days away.

San Carlos are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). In the opposite end, San Carlos have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
