Betting on Puntarenas
Puntarenas has suffered three losses in a row and things are not looking good for the team that has recorded three wins, three ties and seven defeats in 13 matches played this campaign. In fact, the team has only 12 points and is the fourth-worst team so far.
Those three games it lost were by the same score: 1-0. Moreover, in its last four meetings the Under (2.5) was met, which could be a trend that we will see continue in this match, as nine of the team’s 13 clashes were within that margin.
The Buenos Aires team is not a team that evokes confidence even at home. Although it has attained most of its victories this campaign at home (a record of two wins, one draw and three losses), it is now coming off a loss in its last match in front of its home crowd.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Guido Jiménez; Kliver Gómez, Asdrúbal Gibbons, Randal Cordero, Kevin Vega; Yoserth Hernández, Mauricio Montero, José Cubero, Anthony Hernández; Randy Vega, Daniel Quirós.
Betting on Saprissa
Saprissa is living up to its nickname of the Monstruo Rosado, and after 13 matches played in this tournament, it is the team with the most wins and the fewest losses, with a record of nine wins, three ties and one loss.
The has been able to balance all its lines, but the most notable work has been on defense, as it is currently the team that has conceded the fewest goals with only 10. As if that were not enough, it has gone undefeated for seven matches.
It has four wins in a row, and all of those games ended with the Over (2.5). The only match the team lost was away, but Saprissa is still the best away team, recording four wins, two draws and one loss.
Probable lineup (5-4-1): Kevin Chamorro; Youstin Salas, Gerald Taylor, Pablo Arboine, Kendall Waston, Ryan Bolaños; Julen Cordero, David Guzmán, Mariano Nestor Torres, Álvaro Zamora; Warren Madrigal.
JefeBet Prediction
Saprissa comes into this match with the opportunity to get three points in order to put distance with its pursuers, and thus take full possession of first place. Moreover, it will be facing a team that has raised more doubts than certainties in this tournament.
If we take a look at the history of direct confrontations, we can see that the Monstruo Morado has not lost in its visit to the port for 14 years, 10 matches without a setback in that period, although only one of them resulted in a win.
Puntarenas is struggling to score and has gone 270 minutes without a goal, so at JefeBet we expect Saprissa to be the winner and the only team able to score goals.
Prediction: Saprissa Moneyline (PUN 0-2 SAP).
