Jalapa form and stats
There's been little loot from Jalapa's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 8 away games in the Primera Division. Jalapa only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Jalapa are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Chinandega fixture.
