Deportivo Saprissa - Herediano

Costa Rica Primera Division, Verano

We rarely see odds close to 2.00 on Saprissa at home, so this should be a good opportunity to take advantage of them. This is one of the derbies of the season for Saprissa, not as big as the one against Alajuelense, but still something that gets the blood moving. And after their dreadful season of Torneo Invierno, Saprissa looks to have found it's feet, and after the first 4 rounds of Verano they have only lost 1 match (against champions Alajuelense) and won 2, both at home, but in pretty impressive fashion: 3-0 against both San Carlos and Santos. So they clearly are on an uptrend, and should continue their current impressive home form. The first 11 should be the same as against Santos, the only absent being the injured Sirias. Herediano managed to reach the final in Invierno, but so far, their form hasn't been the same, as after a first round win at Puntarenas they went from draw to draw. Last match they were 2-men up, and still haven't managed to find the win against Limon, and even conceded the equalizer when their opponents were one man down. So their game plan is obviously not working, and I expect them to suffer a bit in 'La Cueva'. GL!

Saprissa (-0.5 AH) @ 1.95, 3/10
Result: 0-2, LOST
