Managua and Diriangén have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Primera Division.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primera Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Chinandega.
5 - 2 - 9 with 22-29. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Diriangén when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Diriangén play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Managua form and stats
With 2 Primera Division wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Managua are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Heartbreak before that as Managua lost 2-4 at Walter Ferreti's place.
The manager E. Aburto will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Real Estelí in only four days.
Managua has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Diriangén form and stats
Diriangén have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-2-4 (8 played).
Diriangén's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Real Estelí that finished 2-2. Before that, Diriangén secured a home win against Junior Managua with the score 3-2.
A new game in only four days for Diriangén, the Primera Division home match versus Deportivo Ocotal. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Diriangén as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Diriangén have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
