Second placed Real Esteli host Diriangen who are third in the Nicaragua Premier League. Esteli are ahead of their opponents on goal difference with two games of the regular season remaining. The top two go into the play-offs at the semi-final stage and with their superior goal difference, a win for Esteli will confirm second place. They have only lost one of their last eight league games but have just one win in their last four. Three of those have been on the road though and they are much better at home with five wins out of eight. They have only lost one at home and that was to league leaders FC Managua. Since that loss in February, Esteli have won four and drawn two at home.

Diriangen have an almost identical record to their opponents. Both sides have won nine, drawn four and lost three league games. They have also both conceded ten goals but Esteli have scored eight goals more. The away side have won three of their last four league fixtures but come into this game having gone four away matches without a win. They have failed to score in their last two away fixtures. Esteli are in good form at home and can get the victory here.
