Sabanas vs Managua FC Prediction & Betting tips
It is a double-edged sword that football continues to be played in Nicaragua. On the one hand, the Corona virus continues to occupy the population in the Central American country, on the other hand, the Clausura round is nearing the end. In the main round there are still three game days on the program before the final matches continue and end.
The Nicaraguan Football Association continues to pull through, because the decisions in the current season are imminent. Apertura champion Managua FC is already safe in the playoffs and will be a guest at Deportivo Las Sabanas during the night from Saturday to Sunday. At first glance, this is a clear story.
Managua is at the top of the table in the Primera Division table with 33 points from 15 games. Emilio Aburto’s eleven can not do worse than third place. A win on the Easter weekend might make it possible to secure second place under lock and key, which would mean moving into the semi-finals of the playoffs.
For Deportivo, the playoffs can only be reached theoretically. Jorge Luis Vanegas’ team is currently only in ninth place – out of ten teams. Up to sixth place and participation in the final round seven points are missing. It will be difficult to catch up in three games. Only a win against the leader keeps hope alive.
But it is clear that between Las Sabanas and Managua a forecast for the guests should be inevitable. A victory for the relegation candidate is firmly planned for the reigning Apertura master. However, the MFC has had some difficulties recently in times of ghost games. So maybe there is a surprise after all?
Between Las Sabanas and Managua, a tip on the championship leader remains the first choice. This corresponds to the assessment of the betting providers we tested. All that’s left now is to harvest these advance laurels. The kick-off for the 16th matchday in the Nicaragua Primera Division between Deportivo Las Sabanas and Managua FC at the Solidaridad Augusto Cesar Mendozo Stadium takes place from Saturday to Sunday at 23:00 a.m.
Las Sabanas:
Deportivo Las Sabanas has just celebrated its tenth anniversary. If you ignore clubs with money purchases in higher leagues like RB Leipzig, it is hardly possible to play in the top league of a country in such a short time. In the first year in the Primera Division, however, Deportivo had to pay tuition here and there.
After all, it was enough in the aperture to move into the playoffs. Since the relegated team is determined from Apertura and Clausura in the overall table, Las Sabanas will definitely be in the Oberhaus again next season. Maybe the strong aperture is one reason why things are not going so well anymore.
Eleven points from 15 games are a very poor result. In total there were only two victories in this Clausura. In general, Las Sabanas, including the trophy, has won only once in the last 15 games. This is not a record to frighten the leaders on this matchday.
Therefore, there seems to be no alternative to taking a closer look at the odds of an away win in the match between Las Sabanas and Managua. Jorge Luis Vanegas’ team played a decent game during the week. The bottom line was 0-0 against Municipal Jalapa.
Las Sabanas was the slightly better team, but was unable to translate the slight field advantages into goals. Because the season doesn’t have much to offer for Deportivo anyway, you can live with this draw. One of the last highlights is the home game against the leader. This result will not do much in the classification, but it is very important for the prestige of the promoted.
The formation of Deportivo in this duel against the Apertura master cannot be said from a distance. However, after the game against Municipal Jalapa was properly conducted, there should be no major changes. However, this does not cause the bookmaker Bwin to give the promoters great chances of winning.
Managua:
It could well be full triumph for Managua this season. Emilio Aburto’s team has already won the Apertura Championship. In Clausura you are safe in the playoffs and in Copa Nicaragua the current leader of the Primera Division has played into the quarter-finals. Three titles seem to be possible this season.
This would really show the established top teams Real Esteli and Diriangen. By then at the latest, the MFC would have established itself as an absolute top club in Nicaragua. There is still a long way to go, but the next step is to be taken at the weekend in Las Sabanas.
A win might make it into the semi-finals of the playoffs, which the two best teams of the regular season reach directly. Given the current condition of both teams, everything speaks for an away win. Managua has been unbeaten for ten games and has seven wins.
However, there have been two draws in the last three games. We do not want to talk about the fact that the MFC is running out of air at this point, because last Thursday there was a 2-1 home win against Deportivo Ocotal. However, it became scarce. although Managua was 2-0 up after an hour through the goals of Carlos Felix and Pablo Gallego.
Substitute Luis Gutierrez, however, saw the yellow card twice immediately afterwards in a scene and so the MFC had to outnumber the last half hour. It was only in added time that Ocotal hit the connecting goal. With ach and noise, Emilio Aburto’s team was able to keep the three points at home.
Disciplinelessness of this kind is, however, punished against stronger opponents. Against the bottom, Ocotal, the MFC could still afford it and maybe it would still be enough against Deportivo. However, referrals in the playoffs can be of crucial importance. Even without Luis Gutierrez, the forecast between Las Sabanas and Managua is in the direction of the guests.
