Once Municipal will host Joroco for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be another one tough match for both sides. Both teams are one of the main outsiders in this league. They are currently bottom of the table. Hosts probably are favorites on the home field. True, Once Municipal is not very good team at home. Of course, the hosts want to get a first home win in this season. However, the hosts have a very vulnerable defense. In any case, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Jocoro who's is worst team on the road. Nevertheless, the visitors will try to remain unbeaten in this game. Maybe this is - draw... My pick - Jocoro to win.
