Pérez Zeledón:
The away team comes to this 2 nd round after a loss in their league debut, against Alajuelense by (0‑2). This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with 15 goals scored and 23 suffered; against 5 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats in his stadium, with 20 goals scored and 22 suffered. In the last 10 away matches played for all competitions, Pérez Zeledón won 2, drew 2 and lost 6. The team has not been very strong defensively, since they have always suffered goals in the last 10 matches. This is a team that scores few times in the first place and that only managed to open the scoring in 3 of its last 15 games, of these 3 it reached the break in 1 and won at the end of the 90 ‘in 2. In 15 games, never he got the comeback in the 12 games in which he suffered the first goal.
Like his rival, Zeledón did not have a good start to the championship, he lost in his debut and the difference is that he scored fewer goals. Therefore, aware that they need victory, they must prevail in search of victory even when they are far from their domain. Team Commander Johnny Chaves will take the field with the best of his squad. There are no new confirmed absences.
PREDICTION: Grecia to win @ 2,00
