Season ticket holders at Estadio Alejandro Ramos haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Jalapa languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Managua will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-11-8 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.
Jalapa form and stats
Jalapa's results here at Estadio Alejandro Ramos in the Primera Division have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 3 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Jalapa who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Chinandega, 90 days ago. Two draws in a row at home now for Jalapa.
In their previous game, the manager L. Rodríguez led his Jalapa to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at Diriangen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Alejandro Ramos. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Deportivo Las Sabanas.
The manager L. Rodríguez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Real Esteli in only four days.
Jalapa have scored 5 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Jalapa have conceded only 6 goals.
Managua form and stats
There's been little loot from Managua's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Primera Division. Managua, who have the most scored goals (32) in Primera Division, only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 4 draws.
Managua are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Primera Division against Deportivo Las Sabanas (placed 6th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Deportivo Ocotal that ended 1-1.
As mentioned above, Managua was the only team on the pitch versus Deportivo Las Sabanas in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Managua has another fixture away, a Primera Division game, against Walter Ferreti in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Managua are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Managua have conceded 12 goals in their away games.
