Struggling Deportivo Ocotal will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Jalapa in the upcoming league round. It’s 7th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Deportivo Ocotal have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Jalapa have yet to win a game away.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primera Division match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Juventus Managua, so at least Deportivo Ocotal are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Deportivo Ocotal form and stats
The story so far in the Primera Division for Deportivo Ocotal at their home stadium (Estadio Roy Fernando Bermúdez) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Before that, Ocotal drew at home versus Real Madriz.
The manager M. Alfaro will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Walter Ferreti in only two days.
Deportivo Ocotal has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Ocotal are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Roy Fernando Bermúdez in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 9 matches.
Jalapa form and stats
There's been little loot from Jalapa's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games in the Primera Division. Jalapa only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row. It's looking increasingly bleak for Jalapa who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Juventus Managua was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Jalapa are looking to quickly end their 319 minutes long goal drought in the Primera Division.
Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Diriangen.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 13 goals have been conceded by Jalapa in these games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
