General match analysis

Both teams have major problems in front of goal: Herediano at home and Pérez Zeledón away score an average of just 0.33 goals per match, and fail to score in 67% of such fixtures. Herediano typically enjoys more possession, averaging 60% compared with the opponents’ 47%, and also creates slightly better chances, as reflected by an xG of 1.71 versus 1.38 for the visitors. However, the hosts are highly unreliable defensively, conceding an average of 2.33 goals at home and yet to keep a clean sheet, while Pérez Zeledón have kept a clean sheet in 33% of their away matches. Recent results offer no clear advantage to either side: Herediano have collected 6 points from five matches, while the visitors have taken 5, conceding just 3 goals during that period. The combination of both teams’ poor finishing and similar home-away records, with each losing 67% of their matches, points most strongly towards a draw.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest signal points to BTTS - No, as both teams record this scenario in 67% of their matches, while their BTTS rate for the entire season is only 33% each, compared with 50% in the league. Pérez Zeledón average just 0.33 goals per match and have failed to score in 67% of their appearances, which clearly limits the visitors’ chances of finding the net. In their last five matches, Herediano scored an average of 0.8 goals, while Pérez Zeledón managed just 0.4, with BTTS recorded in only 20% of matches for both sides. Although the average xG stands at 1.37 for Herediano and 1.46 for Pérez Zeledón, their low shot conversion rates of 5% and 3%, respectively, explain the poor actual attacking output. The most likely outcome is therefore a match in which at least one team fails to score, rather than necessarily a goalless draw.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Seasonal data clearly supports a low-scoring outcome: Herediano average 0.67 goals at home, while Pérez Zeledón score just 0.33 away from home. In their last five matches, the visitors scored only 2 goals and conceded 3, with none of those games going Over 2.5 goals. The hosts have also been inefficient, averaging 0.8 goals in their last five matches despite creating chances worth 1.37 xG. The 3.5 line was not surpassed in any of Herediano’s home matches or in 67% of Pérez Zeledón’s away games, while both teams have recorded just 33% of matches with both sides scoring. Higher xG figures—1.43 for the hosts and 1.38 for the visitors—slightly increase the probability of two goals, but the very poor shot conversion rates of 5% and 3% provide the strongest argument for Under 3.5.

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

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time and a draw at full-time, as Pérez Zeledón were level at the break in all three of their away matches so far, scoring and conceding no goals in the opening 45 minutes. In their last five matches, Herediano have averaged just 0.2 goals before half-time, while Pérez Zeledón have also averaged 0.2, with combined averages of only 0.4 and 0.6 goals in the first half, respectively. The visitors drew 40% of their last five matches, and their current defensive record has seen them concede an average of only 0.6 goals per game, limiting the hosts’ advantage despite their xG of 1.43 compared with 1.38 for their opponents. Herediano won 40% of their last five matches but also suffered three defeats and averaged just 0.8 goals scored, so with the quality of chances evenly matched, a share of the points is more likely than a clear victory for either side.
