At home, the hosts score an average of just 0.25 goals and have failed to score in 75% of matches, whereas the visitors average 1.5 goals per away game. Saprissa’s advantage is also reflected in their shot conversion rate of 13%, compared with the hosts’ 3%, and an average of 5 shots on target to their 3. Escorpiones concede an average of 2 goals at home and allow opponents chances worth 1.94 xG, giving the visitors an opportunity to breach their defense. However, confidence in the pick is tempered by the fact that Saprissa have conceded 9 goals in their last 5 matches and lost half of their away games so far.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest signal against both teams scoring is Escorpiones Belén’s recent form: they have scored only 2 goals in 5 matches, averaging 0.4 per game. Deportivo Saprissa have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their matches this season, further increasing the risk that the hosts fail to find the net. On the other hand, the hosts average 2.8 goals per game this season and have an xG of 2.05, while the visitors have conceded an average of 1.8 goals recently, so BTTS - No has only a slight edge. Saprissa have averaged 2.0 goals across their last 5 matches, compared with the 2.2 goals Escorpiones have conceded, making the hosts’ lack of scoring more likely to prevent BTTS than a goalless draw.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

At least 2 goals were scored in 100% of Escorpiones Belén matches and 75% of Deportivo Saprissa matches, making a strong case for Over 1.5 goals. In their last 5 appearances, the hosts conceded an average of 2.2 goals, while the visitors scored 2.0, so Saprissa look the most likely source of the goal threat. However, Escorpiones scored just 0.4 goals per game over this period, despite averaging 1.35 xG, so their contribution to the scoreline should be assessed more cautiously. The estimated total of 2.9 goals supports Over 1.5, while the 2.5 line is less certain: it was cleared in 80% of the hosts’ matches, but only 25% of the visitors’.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

In their last five matches, Escorpiones Belén suffered five defeats and scored an average of 0.4 goals, while Deportivo Saprissa averaged 2.0 goals and won two matches. The visitors had a lead at the break in 3 of those 5 matches, while the hosts were trailing in 3 of 5 and failed to score before half-time in 4 of 5, pointing to an early Saprissa lead. After the break, Escorpiones have recently scored just 0.2 goals on average and conceded 1.4, making a turnaround less likely than an away win. However, the home-match statistics weaken this forecast: the hosts won all 5 of their home matches and averaged 2.05 xG, so Saprissa to lead at half-time and win after 90 minutes is the most likely, but not a strong, pick.
