Methodology

Match analysis

Thirteen goals scored and just three conceded across their last five matches makes Marathon the form side heading to Alajuelense on 18 September, even after the two drew 2-2 just a week ago. Superior still projects a 1-1 draw for the rematch, with a 1-0 Alajuelense win as the alternate.

Marathon have scored thirteen goals in their last five games

They have conceded just three in that stretch too, including a 5-0 win and back-to-back clean sheets, the strongest form of any side in this fixture list. Alajuelense, by contrast, have won only once in five, drawing twice and losing twice, and the two sides drew 2-2 in their most recent meeting just a week ago, a result that split the goals evenly despite Marathon's superior form.

Alajuelense's own 3-1 home win came only last time out

That result, their most recent match, shows Alajuelense can still be productive in front of their own fans, which is what keeps Superior's alternate at a home win rather than assuming Marathon's road form simply repeats. If Marathon's defense, so composed in recent weeks, has an off night against a home crowd, the shared point in the main projection could just as easily tip toward Alajuelense instead.
