There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Liga Nacional table so far. Here's the Achuapa - Guastatoya latest:

Guastatoya could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga Nacional game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Deportivo Sanarate, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Guastatoya.

Achuapa form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Achuapa, who have the fewest scored goals (3) at home in Liga Nacional, have to build on here at Estadio Municipal Manuel Ariza in the Liga Nacional. The last three games played by Achuapa, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Achuapa travelled for their previous game, a trip to Coban Imperial that ended 0-0. In the match before that, Achuapa hosted Sacachispas and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Achuapa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost one.

Achuapa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Achuapa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
