It's early days in the Primera Division and both Sonsonate and Chalatenango are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sonsonate and Chalatenango.
Sonsonate form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sonsonate's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Anna Mercedes Campos.
Sonsonate drew their last game, 2-2 away at Santa Tecla (placed 12th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Isidro Metapán (0-1).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sonsonate at home in the league. 3 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Chalatenango form and stats
It's not happening yet for Chalatenango on their Primera Division travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's all red in the travel logs of Chalatenango, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
There were no winners in Chalatenango's previous match, a Primera Division home game that ended 0-0 vs Isidro Metapán (placed 6th). Prior to that match, the Chalatenango manager M. Portillo Amaya faced defeat when travelling to Jocoro and losing 1-4.
It's early days yet, but Chalatenango has scored 1 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
