Our Prediction

Over 8.5 Corners

Alajuelense (40% home wins) hold a slight edge over Cartaginés on the road (20% away wins), but the difference is minimal. View our Home Win, Away Win and Draw stats for more context.

Both sides regularly see 2+ goals in recent matches (Alajuelense 80% at home, Cartaginés 80% away), though three or more is less consistent. Over 1.5 Goals is the safer selection here.

Alajuelense often see both teams score at home (60%), while Cartaginés are less consistent on the road (50%). There's still a reasonable case for BTTS – Yes, mainly driven by the home side's open style.
