One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Tauro 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 9-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.

This is a match between two teams close to each other, usually meaning increased pressure and importance.

It's no vacation for neither Sporting San Miguelito nor Tauro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
