Diriangén hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 7th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting Managua holds 5th place with 9 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Managua have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-9-8 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.
Diriangén form and stats
Diriangén must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio Cacique Diriangén.
Diriangén lost their last game at Real Estelí (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline. 1-1 away at Junior Managua before that.
Diriangén are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Diriangén have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Managua form and stats
Managua are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Three has not been a lucky number for Managua as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Real Madriz match.
Managua's previous game was their home loss versus Walter Ferreti (1-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Jalapa wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The attacking power of Managua when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Managua manager E. Aburto has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
