This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera Division, Chinandega holding 7th place and Deportivo Ocotal lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chinandega and Deportivo Ocotal.

Chinandega form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Chinandega have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games. Chinandega has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Espinoza and the players.

No payout for Chinandega in their previous match, an away game at Real Madriz that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that game, the home loss against Real Estelí with the scoreline 1-3.

A decent goal production from Chinandega in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. From these home matches, Chinandega have conceded only 7 goals.

Deportivo Ocotal form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Ocotal's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Primera Division. Deportivo Ocotal only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.

Two travels in a row for Ocotal, whose manager M. Alfaro could celebrate last time after the Primera Division win against Juventus Managua. A 0-1 loss hosting Walter Ferreti before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Deportivo Ocotal playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

Goals are few and far between in Ocotal's away league games. Only 4 goals from 8 travels. Ocotal struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.
