Deportivo Saprissa Preview – Can Saprissa resume dominance over the rest?
Before the Coronavirus pandemic struck the footballing world and the world overall, Deportivo Saprissa sat top of the Primera Division with a 4-point lead over 2nd placed Alajuelense, and the hosts will be keen to extend this lead at the top of the division when they resume their season against Herediano this Wednesday.
Along with Alajuelense, Deportivo Saprissa still remain unbeaten at home with a solid looking record of 5-2-0 16/6 under their belts, and indeed, Saprissa have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches overall in the Primera Division as the hosts look to home in on yet another domestic league title.
Saprissa lost on penalties to Herediano in their previous meeting which ended 1-1 at the end of regular time but the match before that, Saprissa recorded a 2-1 win at home and normal service could well be restored again on Wednesday with the hosts looking in ominous form.
Herediano Preview – Can Herediano return to winning ways?
The visitors will make their way to face the current league leaders, Deportivo Saprissa, on the back of 4 league matches without a win in the Primera Division following draws with Municipal Grecia, Jicaral and Alajuelense, along with suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to third from bottom club, Limon, last time out.
Herediano have managed to pick up just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall in the Costa Rican top flight and that came in the shape of a 1-0 win on the road at Zeledon, while the draw has dominated Herediano’s results on their travels so far this season.
An away record of 2-5-0 5/2 underlines their tendency to be involved in stalemates with 4 of their last 5 matches on their travels ending up all square. Indeed, 6 of Herediano’s last 9 away matches have been draws, so it may be best to lean towards the handicap on the hosts here.
