Only a few games have been played in the Liga Nacional so far, with Motagua placed 1st and Marathón sitting in the 1st position.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Concacaf League match only three days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Marathón have had more rest.

A new game in only four days for Marathón, the Liga Nacional home match versus Vida. Busy days.
