It's game one of two in the CONCACAF Champions League as Deportivo Saprissa host Pumas UNAM. This is a Round of 16 fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Pumas UNAM's usual surface at their own football stadium. When playing on artifical turf Pumas UNAM have performed like this: Played four matches yielding 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats with the goal numbers 2-4 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for Pumas UNAM when visiting Deportivo Saprissa as the cities are 2500 kilometers apart.
It's no vacation for neither Deportivo Saprissa nor Pumas UNAM as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
