The season is still fairly new and the Primera Division table has to be read with caution. So far Deportivo Ocotal find themselves in 4th position and Junior Managua are placed 6th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primera Division match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Roy Fernando Bermúdez. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Junior Managua have had more rest.
