An important duel in the bottom section of the Primera Division, with both Managua and Real Madriz experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 7th and the visitors in 10th place.
The hosts Managua saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Concacaf League. That game was an away game at FAS, so at least Managua are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Real Madriz 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 2-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
Managua form and stats
Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Managua, who have the fewest points (7) at home in Primera Division, are 2-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).
The home team returns to Estadio Nacional de Fútbol after being equal after 90 minutes with FAS (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) on their last time out; the Concacaf League game ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Primera Division home game that ended 2-2 versus Deportivo Ocotal.
The manager E. Aburto will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventus Managua in only four days.
The Managua fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Real Madriz form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Real Madriz playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Madriz are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Real Estelí in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Diriangen wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
The attacking power of Madriz when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. For Madriz, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
