Guastatoya form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga Nacional, Guastatoya have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 11 games. Guastatoya has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio David Cordón Hichos. We remember; it was Comunicaciones.

Guastatoya's previous game was also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Achuapa. The home side are looking to build on that result.

Prior to that, an away loss at Comunicaciones.

It should be added that a peek at the 13 most recent league fixtures shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

The manager Ruiz will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Iztapa in only four days.

Guastatoya are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Guastatoya are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio David Cordón Hichos in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 11 matches.

Santa Lucia form and stats

There's been little loot from Santa Lucia's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 11 away games in the Liga Nacional. Santa Lucia only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Santa Lucia have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Santa delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Comunicaciones in their previous match.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Antigua GFC.

A new game in only three days for Santa Lucia, the Liga Nacional home match versus Achuapa. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head
