Limon is the exact opposite of Saprissa. Only four wins and 10 defeats in 17 rounds. 15 points scored and the penultimate place in the standings. In the last round, Limon met its fellow club in misfortune, Universitarios, (closing the standings). And Limon even failed to beat it - the game ended in a 3-3 draw.
Bookmakers offer a rather high coefficient for the leader’s victory over the outsider. However, Saprissa won 10 of Limon's last 12 visits to Ricardo Saprissa Ayma, and two matches ended in draws. Well, we’ll insure the leader with X and add the total. Opponents often arrange goal extravaganza in head-to-head meetings. Over 2.5 goals scored were recorded in the last eight matches held in San Jose. Sometimes they ended with a solid margin, such as 4-0, 4-1, 6-0, 5-2... Maybe the fans will not see such an abundance of goals this time, but the teams will probably manage to score three goals. After all, Limon also began to show good scoring, and the last round ended in a 3-3 draw with the main outsider. Saprissa defeated Santos de Guapiles (4-2) in the last mast. Given these results and the history of head-to-head matches played in San Jose over the past four years, you can count on good scoring, but the leader will not remain without points.
Prediction for the match: Saprissa to win with +0.5 handicap and Over 2.5 goals scored
