👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

Alajuelense and Puntarenas are two attacking sides who have what it takes to make this an entertaining and eventful match.

That's why we highly recommend taking the bet of over 2.5 goals. The bet wins if there are 3 or more goals scored in the match, and if there are 2 goals or fewer, the bet loses.

👉 Our prediction is: Puntarenas win or draw

Puntarenas has been a thorn in the side of many teams of late, and even away from home, they are quite a dangerous opponent for anyone. So as they travel to face Alajuelense, our betting tip is Puntarenas win or draw on the Double Chance market, which means they can either win or draw for the bet to win.

It would honestly not be that big of a surprise if Puntarenas emerged victorious against Alajuelense given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.
