Pérez Zeledón vs San Carlos: match statistics
Pérez Zeledón presents a clear advantage as the host of this fixture. Despite weaker recent form (2 wins in the last 5 matches), the home team holds a significantly better seasonal record (6 victories compared to San Carlos' 3) and a favorable home goal difference (-1 versus -4 for the visitors on the road). A key factor is also the advantage in expected goals — Pérez Zeledón generates an average of 1.67 xG per home match, whereas San Carlos achieves merely 0.95 xG on their travels. The visitors are in dreadful form with only 0.4 points per game in their last five outings and a 56% away loss rate, failing to keep a single clean sheet. Additionally, San Carlos fails to score in 33% of away matches, which, combined with the hosts' decent efficiency (averaging 1.44 goals), offers a real chance for a Pérez Zeledón victory. A draw remains possible due to the unstable form of both teams, yet the statistics clearly favor the hosts.
