In the Clausura of the Liga Primera, Nicaragua’s top division, the 18th and last matchday is on the program on the weekend. For both teams of the extremely interesting game between Diriangén FC and Real Madriz FC there is still a lot at stake. It’s not just a question of what the subsequent playoffs will look like, but Diriangén could jump to the top in the overall table of the Liga Primera, while on the other hand the Somoteños will be plagued by great relegation fears.
More explosiveness is hardly possible when the caciques in the Estadio Cacique Diriangén ask for dancing. Which bookmaker at Diriangen against Real Madriz can offer the best odds can be found in the odds comparison of the betting base.
For Diriangen against Real Madriz, the prognosis is not only influenced by the fact that the caciques in the Nicaraguan tableau are much better positioned, but also the weakness of the guests away from Somoto plays a major role. Including the Cup, the Merengues have lost their last seven away games in a row.
Because the defense of the home team is also extremely stable, we go one step further and recommend Diriangen against Real Madriz the tip on the zero victory of the Caciques. By the way, further forecasts and analyzes for the upcoming soccer weekend can be found in the category Betting Tips Soccer International.
Diriangen:
Diriangén missed only one point in the Apuertura at the end of leader Walter Ferretti. Nevertheless, the Caciques were automatically qualified for the semi-finals of the playoffs, in which they failed due to the big rival and later overall winner Real Ersteli due to the away goals regulation.
All the more, the club, which is considered one of the largest traditional clubs in Central America and in Nicaragua in particular with its 27 national championships as a record champions, is a kind of figurehead in football, in which Clausura once again strives for a sense of achievement. League operations have been satisfactory so far. In the 18th and last matchday, Flávio da Silva’s kickers only go third.
It is all the more bitter that arch rival Real Esteli of all points currently holds the second place with which they would be qualified for the semifinals in the subsequent championship playoffs. In the end, the goal difference could be all the more important, which is why the caciques in the home stadium are doomed to a clear victory.
Last, but not least, would also be the overall table, which is calculated from Apertura and Clausura. This ultimately provides information about who will ultimately get the seats for the CONCACAF League – the North and Central American counterpart to the UEFA and CONMEBOL Champions League.
Diriangén FC currently holds second place behind Managua, but has Walter Ferretti on the neck with one point less. Losing at home against Real Madriz is absolutely forbidden.
At least the balance sheet encourages Diriangen to beat Real Madriz Tip 1, which at least secures the CONCACAF League and optimally even succeeds in jumping straight into the semi-finals of the championship round. Not only have the Caciques not lost to the Merengues in a long time, they have all won their last four home games in the Liga Primera.
Recently two goalless draws away at Municipal Jalapa and Real Esteli prevented the early decision, but it can be said positively that there have been no goals in the last three competitive games for the men of successful coach Flávio da Silva. There may still be a long way to go before the first championship since Clausura 2018, but a few stage wins are already possible on this final day of the league system.
Real Madriz:
While the hosts from Diriamba dominate the question of whether there will be the semifinals or quarter-finals of the championship round after the Clausura, this looks like a luxury problem with regard to the situation of Real Madriz. A luxury that the Somoteños cannot afford, although explosively they could actually move into the playoffs for the Nicaraguan championship with a high away win and a lot of shooting support.
Juventus Managua is six points behind in sixth place. If they lose high at Deportivo Las Sabanas and if the Merengues succeed if Chinandega FC fail to win at Estadio Cacique Diriangén, Miguel Ángel Sánchez’s team would actually be allowed to play for the championship.
Of course, this is not really realistic. After all, the Merengues not only won no less than seven competitive games in a row in foreign places, but each lost. More weakness away from home is practically impossible, which is why the recent solid home yield of eight out of 15 possible points cannot hide the clearly recognizable deficits.
Anyway, the worries of the Somoteños these days are far more existential. Real Madriz has a clear lead in the Clausura over the bottom lights Deportivo Ocotal and Deportivo Las Sabanas, but is only two points apart from the table cellar in the overall table. In the event of a bankruptcy away in Diriamba, the pursuers would theoretically even be able to descend directly to the Segunda División if they won. The relegation delegation would face the penultimate position instead.
To say that the Merengues are nothing in this last league game away game, so would be presumptuous. In fact, the existence of the club is at stake, which only made a real “big point” on Thursday when Chinandega FC could be dealt with 2-0 at home. Both goals were provided by superstar Ulises Rayo, who could count again now.
Nevertheless, with a clear distribution of the balance of power in Diriangen against Real Madriz, the odds for the caciques speak. Nevertheless, a point kidnapped from Diriamba would probably suffice the Somoteños to dispel the relegation ghost. Now it is up to the players of Miguel Ángel Sánchez to throw everything into this game and to achieve exactly that.
