Cartagines - Perez Zeledon

Costa Rica Primera Division, Invierno

Nice increase of the odds for this match, although I don't understand the movements. Cartagines had a good start of the season, taking 2 points in their 2 matches, but both were played away from home, and both against solid home teams, that rarely allow points to slip from their hands. Now, Cartagines will be returning on their home ground, and they expect to record the first win of the season. And they also have some good news to lift their spirit, as 2 of the best players in the team, striker Brenes and defender Chan , are once again available, after serving a prolonged suspension. Perez Zeledon are coming from an irregular campaign so far, winning just one game, at home (the 1-0 win came late, after an 89th minute penalty), while losing with champions Alajuelense, as well as away at Puntarenas. Their coach was sacked following their last week defeat, and I doubt the new coach had enough time to work well with the squad. In the last 10 years, they have played 23 matches at Cartagines's home ground, with the hosts winning 13 of them. With the return of their important players, I see them as favorites here, and the odds are more than tasty. GL!

Cartagines (-0.75 AH) @ 2.15, 3/10
Result: 2-2, LOST
