It's still early in the Primera Division season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Aurora - Capitalinos preview!

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 Aurora and Capitalinos.

Aurora form and stats

Aurora are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Primera Division games here at Estadio del Ejército. The Aurora manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

No payout for Aurora in their previous match, an away game at Deportivo Petapa that ended in defeat 1-3. In the game before, an away victory match versus Sansare with a 6-3 scoreline.

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 Aurora have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sacachispas are coming to town in three days.

At Estadio del Ejército, Aurora has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Capitalinos form and stats

Things could have gone better for Capitalinos in their Primera Division away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. One point away has become something of a habit for Capitalinos who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Capitalinos failed to get anything from their last game, a Primera Division home match vs Achuapa (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. A loss against Sacachispas was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Capitalinos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, four draws and zero defeats. From a total of four matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Capitalinos manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Comunicaciones II.

2 goals so far away for Capitalinos, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Aurora - Capitalinos 3-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Aurora won one game, zero matches ended with a draw and Capitalinos has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
