We switch over to the Costa Rican Primera Division for our next pick with Limon taking on Cartagines as the betting tips continue at the Estadio Juan Gobán Quirós.
Limon Prediction – Can Limon win three on trot?
Despite sitting in 9th place on the Primera Division ladder, Wednesday night’s hosts, Limon, will be in confident mood as they prepare for the visit of 5th placed Cartagines following recent back-to-back wins in the Costa Rican top flight.
Victories against La Universidad and Jicaral has maintained their current league position of 9th place but they return to home turf for this upcoming clash where they possess a pretty solid home record of 6-2-2 13/9 as well as losing just 1 of their last 8 matches overall in the Primera Division.
That loss came in the disastrous shape of a 6-0 rout away from home at 2nd placed Deportivo Saprissa, but having won their last 4 home matches on the trot with victories over Grecia, Guadalupe, Herediano and La Universidad, the hosts will be in a confident frame of mind.
In addition, Limon have kept 5 clean sheets at home so far this season and they’ve lost just 1 of their last 9 meetings at home against Cartagines and includes 7 wins.
Cartagines Prediction – Can Cartagines keep run going?
The visitors bring a 3-match unbeaten run into this Wednesday night clash with Limon which includes wins over Grecia 1-0 away and a 2-1 home win against Guadalupe as well as a 1-1 draw with league leaders, Alajuelense away from home.
However, 5 wins out of their last 13 matches in the Primera Division isn’t exactly a dominating sequence of results for Cartagines and when you consider 3 of these 5 wins were achieved on home turf at their Estadio José Rafael Fello Meza, then they suddenly become a different prospect especially away from home.
An average looking away record of 3-3-4 11/13 includes just 2 wins out of their last 8 matches on the road and just 2 clean sheets, and their inconsistent streak on their travels could once again be their undoing at Limon this evening.
Just 6 away wins out of their last 20 matches away from home underlines the problems the visitors have had in terms of putting together a decent unbeaten run on the road.
