Managua hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 7th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting Deportivo Ocotal holds 6th place with 11 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Deportivo Ocotal have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-16 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
Managua form and stats
2-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Managua so far this season. With Managua having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager E. Aburto.
Managua drew their last game, 2-2 away at Junior Managua (placed 9th). Preceding that match was the home game against Real Esteli that was lost 3-4.
Managua are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. 7 goals have been conceded.
Deportivo Ocotal form and stats
Deportivo Ocotal, who have the fewest points (0) away in Primera Division, are still without points from their Primera Division away games. 4 games, 4 defeats. Bitter travels for Ocotal as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Real Esteli match.
Ocotal's previous game was their home loss versus Real Esteli (0-1). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Diriangen.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ocotal as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. The Ocotal manager E. Díaz has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Deportivo Ocotal - Managua 5-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - one - two (Managua wins - draws - Deportivo Ocotal wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Managua missing players
