A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Primera Division.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Jalapa have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.
