Olimpia vs MotaguaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Estadio Nacional in Tegucigalpa hosts an Olimpia side with a perfect record so far: second on 6 points, two wins from two, 5 goals scored and only one conceded. They won 2-0 at home and 3-1 on the road. Motagua have split their opening, fifth on 3 points after a 0-2 home defeat and a 3-0 away win, with 3 goals scored and 2 conceded. The sample is tiny, two games each, and the Apertura table has to be read with that in mind. The Honduran league is running at 2.25 goals a game. The four matches the two clubs have played so far produced eleven goals, yet three of those four ended with a clean sheet somewhere: Olimpia kept one in their home win, Motagua kept one on their only trip, and in the home defeat it was the visitors who were not breached. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
