It's advantage Marathón so far with their 2nd position in the Liga Nacional table, welcoming Vida who are placed 5th.
Vida could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga Nacional game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Motagua. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Vida form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Liga Nacional.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Vida, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-5 versus Motagua. A 1-3 loss hosting UPNFM before that.
A huge disappointment for Vida in their last match (vs Motagua). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 2-5 defeat.
Vida are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Vida have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
