The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Real España are in the 3rd position while the guesting Real de Minas worry at 4th.
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.
Real España form and stats
Real España have played 5 Liga Nacional games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
España travelled for their previous game, a trip to Vida that ended 2-2. 1-1 away at UPNFM before that.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Real España as they have a new game in only three days, a Liga Nacional match thankfully also at home. Motagua are visiting.

Real de Minas form and stats
Playing away, Real de Minas have won 0 games, drawn 3 and suffered 2 defeats in the Liga Nacional this season. Minas seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
There might be some fixture complaints from Minas as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Liga Nacional match against Motagua (1-2). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Marathon.
Late heartbreak for Minas in the Motagua match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
The schedule is very tough for Minas now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga Nacional game at Vida is waiting in only three days.
Minas have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 5 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Minas have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
