Municipal form and stats

The visitors are W0-D1-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Liga Nacional.

Municipal's last game was the home draw against Iztapa (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Iztapa after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager J. Cardozo Otazú needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Before that, Municipal secured a home win against Malacateco with the score 4-0.

A quick return to home after this game, as Municipal are hosting Solola in the Liga Nacional only four days away.

Municipal have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
