General match analysis

San Carlos have won 4 of their last 5 matches, conceding just 2 goals in that run, while Herediano have recorded 2 wins and conceded 7. Home advantage has not helped the hosts: they have failed to win any of their 4 home fixtures, conceding an average of 2.5 goals, compared with 1 goal conceded per away match by the visitors. Herediano create more chances, averaging 1.94 xG at home against San Carlos’ 1.22 xG away, but score just 0.75 goals per match and have failed to score in half of their home games. The visitors have won 2 of their 4 away matches and kept a clean sheet in 50% of them, so despite the hosts’ edge in chance creation, San Carlos are more likely to win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS has occurred in only 20% of Herediano’s matches and 25% of San Carlos’s matches so far, well below the league average of 47%. The hosts have kept a clean sheet in 60% of their matches, compared with 50% for the visitors, increasing the likelihood that at least one team will fail to score. In their last 5 matches, San Carlos have conceded just 2 goals, an average of 0.4 per game, while Herediano’s season scoring average is 0.8. The visitors have slightly greater attacking potential than the hosts, with an xG of 1.22 versus 1.02, yet BTTS has landed in only 20% of their last 5 matches. Therefore, BTTS - No is the more likely outcome, although Herediano’s recent average of 1.4 goals conceded per game leaves some chance of both teams scoring.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest pick is Under 3.5 goals: none of the matches played by either team so far have featured 4 goals. Herediano average 0.8 goals scored, while San Carlos average 1.0; both teams concede an average of 1.0 goal per match. Their attacking xG—1.02 for the hosts and 1.22 for the visitors—also points to a moderate number of goal-scoring chances. In their last 5 matches, San Carlos conceded just 2 goals, and the 2.5-goal line was exceeded in 20% of their matches, compared with 40% of Herediano's. A forecast of 2.06 total goals supports Under 3.5, although the difference between the teams around the 2.5 line calls for a more cautious pick.

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

The strongest signal points to San Carlos leading at the break and maintaining their advantage through to full time: in their last five matches, the visitors led at half-time three times, while Herediano did not lead at the break at all. Over the same period, San Carlos won four of five matches and conceded an average of 0.4 goals per game, while the hosts won twice and conceded an average of 1.4 goals. The visitors' record of not losing the second half in any of their last five matches also supports the prospect of them holding a potential lead, although the hosts averaged 1.0 goal after the break. This is not a risk-free pick, as season-long data show Herediano winning 60% of matches and leading at half-time in 50%, compared with 50% and 25%, respectively, for San Carlos. However, recent form and the clear difference in first-half results favor the 2/2 HT/FT scenario.
