There has been no shortage of highs and lows for these two squads this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Liga Nacional table. Here's the Victoria - Real España latest:
- Real España have the most scored goals in the first half (26) 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.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Honduras Progreso that finished 1-1.The manager Baldús will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Olancho in only two days.

Real España form and stats

Real España's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Olancho that finished 1-1.
A 2-2 draw at Vida's stadium before that.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Motagua in just two days.
España find the net regularly in their away games. 11 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Real España have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
