Match preview: 9 points divide the participants up until now, Motagua on top. Can Olancho take the guests by surprise?
- Olancho have the fewest scored goals (1) at home in Liga Nacional
- Motagua have the most scored goals (15) in Liga Nacional
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Olancho form and stats
Olancho have played three Liga Nacional home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Olancho are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio Juan Ramón Brevé Vargas, having lost their two previous games here.
Olancho's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Motagua (placed 2nd).
In the game before, an away victory match versus Real Sociedad with a 2-1 scoreline.Olancho have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic.
Motagua form and stats
The seven points Motagua have gathered from their first three away trips in the Liga Nacional is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
Motagua play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Olancho (placed 7th).
A home win as predicted against Cibao ahead of that, in the Concacaf League.
The travelling fans enjoy Motagua's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Olancho and Motagua have faced off previously this season: Olancho - Motagua 0-1.
