Cobán Imperial and Cartaginés get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Concacaf Central American Cup Group Stage fixture.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cartaginés have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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 Imperial and Cartaginés.

Cobán Imperial form and stats

In their previous game, the manager Olivera led his Cobán Imperial to a defeat away at Comunicaciones. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Nacional Mateo Flores.

A 0-0 result against Deportivo Universitario before that, played at their own home stadium in the Concacaf Central American Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cobán Imperial have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 4 matches with the results: Won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Cobán Imperial, as the Liga Nacional home game vs Xelaju is only four days away.

Cartaginés form and stats

Cartaginés has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to San Carlos for a 1-1 draw.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Puntarenas.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cartaginés playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 3 Cartaginés wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Cartaginés now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Deportivo Saprissa is waiting in only four days.
