There has not been much soccer to watch in a few weeks.
But Wednesday night, the two best teams in Nicaragua, and also the two teams in the best form, will take the pitch at the Estadio Olímpico del IND Managua with first place on the line.
Both teams have won five of six (and four in a row), and this looks to be the game of the year in the league. These teams also know each other very well: this will be the 19th time they have played since August of 2017, with Real Esteli holding the advantage, 8-5-5.
Managua FC comes in on 28 points, two points ahead of its opponent. Real Esteli will know it has to get some kind of result here, or it risks falling five points behind with five matches to play in the race for the title.
Tough to call here, but there should be some goals. I will take a score draw.
Note: As of right now you cannot place bets on the Nicaraguan Primera Division on Parx Sportsbook, but there is plenty of other action to be found — register to place your bets here.
