Walter Ferretti finished the regular Clausera season in fourth place, seven points ahead of Jalapa. The two sides now battle it out in the quarter finals of the play-offs with the winners taking on Real Esteli (second in the regular season). Ferretti come into this game in good form having won four of their last five league games. They had won four in a row without conceding before losing their final game 1-0 at top-of-the-table FC Managua. Their home form is particularly strong with their last four league games being won by an aggregate of 14-0. Overall, they won six of their nine home league games and were the second highest scorers in the table.

Jalapa came back from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw at Ferretti earlier in the season. However, their form has dipped in recent weeks with the worst form in the league over the last five matches. Just two points from their last five games with two goals scored and nine conceded. Their last two games have both been lost, including a 6-1 loss at FC Managua. Away form saw them win just one of their nine league fixtures with only seven goals scored. The only win they have had in their last 11 away league and cup games was at struggling Deportivo Ocotal. This task looks beyond them, so go for a home victory.
