General match analysis
San Carlos have lost all three of their matches so far this season, scoring just 1 goal and conceding 7, while their goal difference across the last five games stands at 3:10. At home, the hosts lost their only match played 0:3, failed to register a shot on target and did not score, which significantly reduces their chances of ending this poor run. Herediano remain unbeaten away from home, drawing 100% of their matches, but they create considerably more chances: averaging 21 shots, 7 shots on target and 2.31 xG per game. Although the visitors score just 1 goal per away match, San Carlos’s defence concedes an average of 3 goals, so the superior quality of chances created should give them enough to secure the win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS - No pick is primarily supported by the poor finishing of both teams: San Carlos averages 0.5 goals per game this season and 0.6 over their last five matches, while Herediano has scored just 0.4 goals per game in that same period. The hosts have lost four of their last five games, scoring a total of 3 goals, while the visitors have managed only 2 goals across five matches. Herediano does create more chances, recording 2.31 xG and 7 shots on target per match compared with San Carlos’ 1.71 xG and 4.5 shots, but their current goal output does not support these numbers. San Carlos concedes an average of 2.0 goals per match, so the most likely scenario is a Herediano goal combined with another limited attacking return from the hosts. Although neither team has kept a clean sheet yet, the combination of poor scoring form and conversion rates of 4% and 5% suggests that at least one of the teams will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Under 3.5 goals, as both teams have had every league match this season finish with a maximum of three goals. Herediano have averaged just 0.4 goals in their last five matches, while San Carlos have averaged 0.6, despite the hosts conceding as many as 2.0 goals per game during this period. The visitors’ attacking potential remains higher: they have created an average of 1.68 xG in their last five matches compared with San Carlos’ 1.18 xG, making a narrow Herediano win the most likely scenario. At the same time, both sides have a low conversion rate—4% for the hosts and 5% for the visitors—which reduces the risk of the scoreline escalating. The 3.5 line receives additional support from the fact that the percentage of matches finishing Under 3.5 goals stands at 100% for each team in the current season data.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal is a draw at half-time: San Carlos were level at the break in 75% of their recent matches, while Herediano recorded a half-time draw in 80%, with neither team leading at the break in any of those games. The first halves have also been relatively low-scoring, averaging 1.25 goals in San Carlos matches and 1.0 in Herediano matches over the latest sample. After the final whistle, Herediano have still most frequently shared the points, drawing 60% of their last five matches, while San Carlos won 0% and lost 80% of those fixtures. The visitors hold an edge in chance creation, with average xG of 2.31 compared with 1.71 for the hosts, and they average 7.0 shots on target against San Carlos's 4.5. However, their current finishing form is poor, as they are scoring only 0.4 goals per match across their last five appearances. This limits confidence in an away win, making the draw/draw scenario the most likely HT/FT outcome.
