Match description

I back a Herediano win (2). This season the visitors have 15 wins versus Puntarenas’ 9 and have scored 43 goals while conceding 31, whereas Puntarenas has 38 scored and 35 conceded. In the last 5 matches Herediano have won 3 and scored 9 goals, equating to 1.8 points per game, while Puntarenas have not won any (0-2-3), have only 5 goals scored and 0.4 points per game. Puntarenas hold an advantage in home possession and chance creation (59% possession, 13.47 shots and xG 1.54) compared to Herediano’s away numbers (51% possession, 10.53 shots and xG 1.29), but a lower conversion rate (7% vs 9%) and 47% of home games without a goal weaken that edge. Despite similar defensive metrics (Puntarenas concede 0.8 goals at home, Herediano 0.87 away), Herediano’s superior efficiency and recent form increase their chances of victory.
