Deportivo Saprissa vs LD Alajuelense
My honest opinion is that this is a very close match, but I slightly favour Alajuelense to avoid defeat.
After looking at the latest team news, I would be more cautious about backing a straight Saprissa win.
Why I think this
Saprissa: Home advantage is a big positive, but they have several important absentees, including Kendall Waston, Sebastián Acuña and Orlando Sinclair.
Alajuelense: They have shown good recent form and have gone eight matches unbeaten.
Head-to-head: Saprissa won the previous meeting 2–0, so they know how to hurt Alajuelense
