Municipal form and stats

5 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Municipal have to build on here at Estadio El Trébol in the Liga Nacional. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Municipal with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Malacateco game, 59 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Municipal lost their last game at Guastatoya after a 1-2 scoreline.

Heartbreak before that as Municipal lost 0-1 at Antigua GFC's place.

It should be noted that a peek at the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

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

Municipal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Cobán Imperial.
