Costa del Este hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 9th position in the Lpf table. Visiting Alianza holds 6th place with 10 pts.
Costa del Este and Alianza should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Costa del Este form and stats
2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Lpf numbers at home for Costa del Este so far this season. It’s been three wins in a row for Costa del Este here at Estadio Agustín Muquita Sánchez, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Costa, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 216 minutes in the Lpf.
Costa shared the glory with Tauro in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Deportivo Universitario in a game that was won 3-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Costa del Este as they are travelling to their away game against Atletico Chiriqui in the Lpf. That match is three days after this one.
Costa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. From these home matches, Costa have conceded only 4 goals.
Alianza form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Lpf for Alianza with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. The Alianza manager C. Garcés is a generous human being, having led his team to four draws in a row during the last 256 days. One point away has become something of a habit for Alianza who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Alianza's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Sporting San Miguelito that finished 0-0. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus San Francisco that ended 0-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Alianza are hosting Arabe Unido in the Lpf only three days away.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Alianza's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. 3 goals have been conceded by Alianza in these games.
