Season ticket holders at Estadio Jiboa haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Independiente languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Águila will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Independiente nor Águila as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Independiente form and stats
With 2 Primera Division wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Independiente are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Independiente.
The home team returns to Estadio Jiboa after sharing the points with Alianza (placed 1st) on their last time out; the Primera Division game ended 0-0. Before that, Independiente drew at home versus Municipal Limeno.
There will be little rest for Independiente after this match as they are travelling to Sonsonate for a Primera Division game in only three days.
The Independiente fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Águila form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Águila so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Águila has drawn their two previous away games.
The supporters enjoyed Águila's previous game versus Sonsonate (placed 3rd), a Primera Division 2-1 win played at home. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Alianza.
After this away game Águila return home for a Primera Division game against Isidro Metapán. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Águila as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Águila in these games.
