There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Liga Nacional table so far. Here's the Motagua - Platense latest:
- Motagua has the most scored goals (28) in Liga Nacional
- Platense has the most points from losing position (7) in Liga Nacional
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, Platense have had more rest.
Motagua form and stats
Overall Liga Nacional stats at home this season for Motagua, who have the most scored goals (28) in Liga Nacional, are 3-2-1 (wins-draw-losses).
Motagua drew their last game, also a home match. Real Esteli (after extra-time) was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Before that game, the home loss against UPNFM with the scoreline 0-1.
A disappointing finish for Motagua in their match versus Real Esteli (after extra-time) as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
Motagua are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. Motagua are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.
Platense form and stats
There's been little loot from Platense's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Liga Nacional. Platense, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in Liga Nacional, only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.
The supporters enjoyed Platense's previous game versus Vida, a Liga Nacional 1-0 win played at home. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting UPNFM.
The end of the last match, against Vida, was very satisfying as H. Morales scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Platense are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. The Platense manager J. López has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
