A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Sporting San Miguelito and Malacateco know what's at stake in this second leg of the Concacaf League Preliminary Round clash.
Sporting San Miguelito's stadium, Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez, has a artifical turf surface. Malacateco have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Malacateco when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses from five matches. They have scored 6 goals in these games and conceded 4.
These teams have little in common geographically as Malacateco have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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.
