Olimpia get ready to welcome Alajuelense for something different than the ordinary league football: The Concacaf League Final leg 1 of 2.

These are busy days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only three days ago in the Liga Nacional. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at UPNFM.

Olimpia form and stats

Olimpia participated in Concacaf League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.

14 points is a decent return from 7 Liga Nacional games here at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino for Olimpia. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Pinto was the last player to score a league goal for Olimpia and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Olimpia haven't scored in 315 minutes. The Olimpia goalkeeper Edrick Eduardo Menjivar Jonhnson is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 243 minutes without conceding a goal in the Liga Nacional.

Olimpia travelled for their previous game, a trip to UPNFM that ended 0-0.

Before that, Olimpia played out a Liga Nacional draw 0-0 when visiting Real Espana.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Olimpia handle that role? We have found 5 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Motagua are coming to town in four days.

The Olimpia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Defensively Olimpia have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 7 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Alajuelense form and stats

Alajuelense's mission in Concacaf League last season failed in the 8th finals against Guastatoya.

Playing away, Alajuelense have won 3 games, drawn 3 and suffered 2 defeats in the Primera Division this season.

Alajuelense have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 185 minutes ago. Venegas was the goal scorer.

There might be some fixture complaints from Alajuelense as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-2 against Deportivo Saprissa.

One game before, 2-2 at home against Real Espana in the Concacaf League. Alajuelense are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.

Alajuelense have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 10 goals have been scored. 10 goals have been conceded by Alajuelense in these games.
