Real Esteli vs Juventus Managua Soccer Betting Tips
Is Managua surprising in second place?
The second half of the Primera de Nicaragua is slowly coming to an end: there are only four rounds left before the playoffs begin. Real Esteli is on the right track as second, who now receive the kickers from Juventus Managua, who in turn still have to fear. In seventh place, the leap into the championship round would be just missed.
The hosts want to defend their current position, because the first two teams can skip a round in the playoffs after the regular season. However, the Real Esteli vs Juventus Managua tip at odds of 1.58 aims for an away win, including a handicap of + 1.5 for the guests.
The winner of the last Clausura and finalist of the previous Apertura recently appeared less stable. In addition, the match takes place without spectators, which reduces the home advantage.
Real Esteli – Statistics & current form
Until recently, the “Tren del Norte” was very determined in league operations – but there was no victory on the last two match days. In addition to a respectable draw against the league leaders Managua FC, a defeat at the fourth Ferretti followed on the previous day.
The red-whites still only rank three points behind the leaders, which means that the title defense mission still has very good chances. Especially in front of their own backdrop, the team is a force: five wins and one draw and one defeat represent one of the strongest home records.
However, this advantage has been limited because the games in the league are played without spectators due to the crisis. Despite this shortcoming, the last two home games were successful: Real Madriz were beaten 4-0 and Sabanas 1-0.
Back team is currently acting safely
Admittedly, they were lightweights in the league, and this judgment applies equally to the upcoming opponent.
While the offensive was last reduced, the defensive was more and more convincing. Only three goals against in the past six rounds confirm this judgment. In addition to the best attack in the league, together with Ferretti, Real can now point to the second safest team behind Diriangen.
Additional value tip includes few goals
In view of this, we at Real Esteli – Juventus Managua place in the odds for less than 2.5 goals on top value.
The fact that the guests will play defensively also speaks for the prediction, because from their point of view a draw and the associated point win against the 13-time champion can be considered a success. In addition, the hosts’ offensive was recently lost as described above.
Even against the bottom of the table from Sabanas, the scoring in the recent home game was only a meager goal.
Probable lineup of Real Esteli:
Maradiaga – Casco – Lopez – Gutierrez – Ruiz – Leal – Rivas – Barrera – Guarch – Betancur – Castillo

Juventus Managua – Statistics & current form
The troupe from the capital finished fourth in the last Clausura. Then the “Pibes” had to say goodbye immediately in the first round of playoff. The current season is much more difficult for the two-time champion from the 1990s.
The team of coach Roberto Chanampe especially lacks consistency in their own performance. In the meantime, there had also been a persistent weakness at the end. No goal has been scored in the most recent two league games prior to the previous round.
Offensive made signs of life
Thanks to a 3: 0 against Diriangen, at least tied with the upcoming opponent, this shortcoming could be remedied. Furthermore, the win was important from a psychological point of view.
The 0-4 clap on the penultimate game day at Chinandega hurt considerably because the opponent currently occupies the coveted sixth place in the tableau and is thus the worst competitor in the fight for participation in the championship round.
In addition, Chinandega had previously been cleared 0: 7 at Ferretti, the fifth in the league, which is why a particularly pronounced form strength cannot be attested at the moment. In addition, Juventus generally appears harmless abroad. After seven guest appearances, Managua is still waiting for the first victory.
Instead, it already set five bankruptcies and only at least one point was scored twice. The record of three goals and an average of more than two goals conceded are both bad values. In this context, the fact of a ghost game should be an advantage for the guests.
Probable lineups of Juventus Managua:
Lorente – Vallecillo – Hernandez – Cruz – Guardado – Cantillo – Montiell – Martinez – Arteaga – Tremino – Mercado
