Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, UPNFM in 3rd and Marathón in 2nd place.
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.
UPNFM form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Liga Nacional this season. UPNFM, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Liga Nacional, have only managed 0 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Estadio Emilio Williams Agasse.
The UPNFM fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga Nacional game also here at Estadio Emilio Williams Agasse: A 0-1 defeat against Honduras Progreso. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Real Espana.
UPNFM are traveling soon after this match as the Liga Nacional match at Platense awaits in three days.

Marathón form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Marathón, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) in Liga Nacional, playing as the away team in the Liga Nacional this season.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 3-0 against Platense in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Real de Minas's place.
A quick return to home after this game, as Marathón are hosting Real Sociedad in the Liga Nacional only three days away.
The attacking power of Marathón when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Marathón are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
