This game involves two contenders dwelling in the basement of the Primera Division, Academia Cantolao having 19th position and Deportivo Municipal sitting at 13th. A decent chance for one of the squads to boost their position.

Insights:
  • Academia Cantolao have the fewest scored goals (9) in Primera Division
  • Deportivo Municipal have won significantly less corners away then at home.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Deportivo Municipal have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-6-11 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
