Both clubs need points from this Nicaraguan Premier League fixture. Chinandega are one place and two points off the play-offs, while ninth placed Deportivo Ocotal are battling relegation. The home side go into this final game of the regular season a couple of points behind sixth placed Juventus Managua. The top six go into the play-offs and Chinandega have to win this match and hope that Juventus Managua lose at bottom-of-the-table Sabanas. Chinandega are in terrible form coming into this game, having lost their last three league games and conceding eight goals, while scoring just once themselves. Their home form is mixed with two wins and three losses from their last five. They have eight goals from their last four at home, so are likely to get on the scoresheet in this game.

Just like their opponents, Ocotal will have an eye on the Sabanas v Juventus Managua fixture. The bottom side in the table are automatically relegated with the sides finishing in eighth and ninth going into a play-off. Ocotal go into this match two points ahead of Sabanas so will hope that Juventus Managua don't lose to them. Ocotal were in bottom spot before their last fixture. They went to Juventus Managua and came away with a 1-0 win, thanks to a goal 17 minutes from time. That victory ended a run of seven league games without a win since a home win over Chinandega. That was their first away league win of the season and only their fourth away goal. This isn't easy to predict but with the home side in poor form and Ocotal desperate to get something from this game, a bet on both teams to score is the suggested bet.
