Cartaginés vs Pérez Zeledón: match statistics
Cartaginés displays solid home form with a 46% win rate at home and an impressive clean sheet record of 46%. The hosts have a positive goal difference of +4 in home matches, scoring an average of 1.08 goals and conceding only 0.77 goals per game. Pérez Zeledón in away matches shows greater offensive efficiency (1.3 goals on average), but simultaneously concedes many goals (1.5 on average), which, given their weaker defense (only 20% clean sheets), constitutes a significant weakness. Both teams have an identical points per game record in their last 5 matches (1.4 PPG); however, the xG advantage for the hosts (1.63 vs 1.43) along with Cartaginés' superior home defense point towards their victory. Pérez Zeledón's form, largely based on draws (4 out of their last 5 matches), suggests they could put up resistance, which justifies the relatively high probability of a draw.
