Primera Division Table

LD Alajuelense sit firmly at the top with 40 points from 18 games, boasting 12 wins, 4 draws, and only 2 defeats. Their defensive record is the best in the league, conceding just 10 goals while scoring 29. Deportivo Saprissa occupy second place with 34 points, having scored a league-high 32 goals but also conceding 20 times in their 10 wins and 4 losses. CS Cartagines hold third with 28 points, built on a solid defence that has allowed only 12 goals, though 7 draws have cost them ground on the leaders. Further down, Municipal Liberia (27 points) and defending champions Herediano (26 points) are still in the hunt for top positions, while Marineros de Puntarenas (21 points) round out the bottom of the provided standings.

Favorites & Title Chances

Based on current points, form, and the gap between contenders, the title race probabilities are estimated as follows:

• LD Alajuelense – 70% chance: A six-point lead, only two defeats, and the stingiest defence make them clear favorites. Their consistency under pressure gives them a commanding edge.
• Deportivo Saprissa – 25% chance: The most prolific attack in the league keeps them in contention, but four losses and a six-point deficit mean they need Alajuelense to slip up.
• CS Cartagines – 5% chance: A 12-point gap is substantial, and their high number of draws suggests they lack the cutting edge to mount a serious challenge unless both frontrunners collapse.

Herediano, the last season winner, currently sits fifth and is not considered a primary contender this term.
