In this clash I expect the hosts to win by more than one goal. Jalapa plays well in the last weeks and they won the last four of five games at home in the league. I don't think that they will struggle tonight and score no more than one goal against Chinandega. They scored usually 2 goals and keep the clean sheet in their games. The visitors lost 0:7 in last away match against Ferretti and 1:5 against Esteli. I don't believe that they will show something better tonight and avoid defeat in this match. I pick Asian handicap -1 for Jalapa. Good luck

Also they will have no support from the fans, because the match will be played behind closed doors. Because of this, I decided to bet on Melbourne City to win by 2 goals difference, my bet is Melbourne City AH -1. Good luck guys.
