A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Walter Ferreti fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Managua's 7th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Managua could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Concacaf League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Olimpia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
