There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Primera Division table so far. Here's the Managua - Deportivo Las Sabanas latest:
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
