Managua FC hosts Jalapa in round 17 of Nicaraguan Liga Primera Clausura. The match will be played on Thursday, April 16th at Estadio Olimpico del IND Managua (Managua)
Managua is the undisputed leader of Nicaraguan Primera Liga. There are only two rounds to play in the regular championship, and in theory, the hosts can miss the first position, so you should not expect any relaxation from them for sure. In the current championship, the favorite has already met with Jalapa away, and that match ended in a draw (1-1). Managua will not allow itself to lose points with the same opponent twice. Managua acts simply gorgeous on its pitch - the Lions won six of seven home games, having scored 17 goals in this segment. I think that Managua will have no problems in the upcoming meeting.

Jalapa is currently on the fifth line in the standings of Nicaraguan Primera Liga. It will surely not manage to get to the semifinals directly, so the main task at the end of the regular championship is to maintain a place in the top six. To do this, the team needs to earn only one point. Most likely, it will be taken in a home match with Esteli because Jalapa acts much stronger at home than on the road - the team lost four out of eight away games. The visits to Managua are very difficult for Jalapa, so I will not dare to bet on the visitors.
I can’t but note that recent head-to-head matches in Managua ended in favor of one side – the hosts won the last four home games with a total score of 13-2. Jalapa does not act very confidently away, and there is no need to talk about the unmotivated nature of Managua because the hosts can still lose their first position. I think Managua will be able to bet its opponent without any particular problems.
Prediction for the match: Managua FC to win with -1.0 handicap
