Managua form and stats
Managua have collected 13 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 4-1-3. Managua are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio Nacional de Fútbol, having lost their two previous games here.
The Managua fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estadio Nacional de Fútbol: A 0-1 defeat against H&H Export (placed 4th).
Before that, Managua played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Real Esteli.Lots of goals? We don't know about this one, but we do know that 12 of the 16 most recent league matches with this side has seen at least three goals.
The manager Aburto will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to UNAN Managua in only two days.
A decent goal production from Managua in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 8 league matches.
Matagalpa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Matagalpa so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Matagalpa, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Matagalpa's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus UNAN Managua that finished 3-3. Drawing 3-3 against UNAN Managua after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager López needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
A 0-1 defeat away at Walter Ferreti before that.The schedule is very tough for Matagalpa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Real Esteli is waiting in only two days.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
Head 2 Head
