On Saturday night, Las Sabanas and Juventus Managua go head-to-head in the Nicaraguan top-flight, as the visitors look to consolidate their position in the top six of the table.
Las Sabanas are currently bottom of the table after a poor campaign so far. The home side has taken just 11 points from their first 17 games of the league season.
They head into this game on the back of a four-game winless run in the league. To make matters worse, they have recorded just one victory in 15 matches in the Primera Division.
Last time out in the league, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Walter Ferretti. The game followed a familiar pattern for their recent league matches in that it was low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight league matches.
Las Sabanas’ home form in the Primera Division has been poor, as they have won just once in their previous ten matches on home soil. Their recent league matches at home have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven matches.
Juventus Managua are in a battle for a top-six spot this season. The visitors are currently sixth place in the table but are only ahead of seventh-place Chinandega by two points. They can’t afford any complacency at this point of the season.
The visitor’s recent matches in the Primera Division have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine league matches.
Their away form has majorly hindered the visitor’s chances of consolidating their position in the league’s top six, as they have failed to win in 16 games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Las Sabanas will hold the visitors to a goalless draw to dent their chances of holding onto a top-six spot.
