Season ticket holders at Estadio Ecólogico de la UCR haven’t seen too many victories this season, with UCR languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Santos de Guápiles will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Santos de Guápiles could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primera Division game only four sleeps ago. That game was a home fixture for Santos de Guápiles, against Herediano. But now it's all about beating UCR!
