This could be an interesting match as Olimpia have their presumed home advantage while Motagua are ahead 4 points in the Liga Nacional table.
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.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Olimpia form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Olimpia's two home games in the Liga Nacional so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino.
Olimpia manager P. Troglio and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus UPNFM (placed 3rd) in the Liga Nacional. Before that match, a win away at Real de Minas.
This is expected to be a close game, with Olimpia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Olimpia as a small favourite), we find four games. Olimpia has won one of these, drawn three and lost zero.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Olimpia as they have a new game in only four days, a Concacaf League match thankfully also at home. Managua are visiting.
Olimpia has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Motagua form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (16) in Liga Nacional, are W4-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Liga Nacional.
It's the second away game in a row for Motagua, but there's smiles all around after the 5-1 victory versus Real Sociedad (placed 5th) in the Liga Nacional last time out. A draw for Motagua before that, at their own venue hosting Marathon (1-1).
As mentioned above, Motagua was the only team on the pitch versus Real Sociedad in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Motagua in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Motagua, four draws and four defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Motagua now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Concacaf League game at Alianza is waiting in only three days.
The Motagua manager D. Vásquez has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 13 goals in 4 league matches away. 4 goals have been conceded by Motagua in these games.
