Cartagines - Brujas

Costa Rica Primera Division, Verano

Brujas has been hit by a serious crisis, and the club is trembling at every level. First of all, there is the financial insecurity, following the arrest of the owner Minor Vargas. Most of the players want to leave, and a lot of them already did, as 4 players (Andres Nunez, Rodolfo Rodríguez, Paolo Jimenez and Heiner Mora) managed to resign their contracts, and there are 3 more players very close to doing the same thing until Tuesday, when the transfer market closes. And all of these problems and uncertainties are reflected in the players' performances, who after a solid away win in the first round, got just one more point in the next 3 matches, being on 2 consecutive losses (being almost trashed by Perez Zeledon mid-week). Cartagines is an OK team, usually mid-level in Costa Rica, but can also surprise the big guys from time to time. They haven't enjoyed the best start, despite losing just one game from 4, they have also managed to win just 1, so they need continuity in results and a boost in points. They have already managed to beat Brujas two months ago, in the play-offs, so I don't see why they couldn't do it again, especially since Brujas are knee-deep in heavy problems. GL!

Cartagines (-0.75 AH) @ 1.88, 5/10
Result: 1-1, LOST
