The upcoming Liga Nacional de Honduras match between CD Marathon and Olancho FC promises a captivating contest. Their head-to-head record over the last 10 meetings is perfectly balanced, with each team securing five victories. Furthermore, their recent three encounters have witnessed more than two goals scored overall, indicating a history of intense attacking play. CD Marathon enters the match with solid form, having won two, drawn two, and lost one of their last five games. Their offensive and defensive performances have been particularly noteworthy, scoring 13 goals while conceding only four. Key player Nicolas Messiniti possesses strong finishing abilities. Currently second in the league standings, CD Marathon has accumulated 36 points from 17 matches and boasts a strong defensive record, conceding an average of only 0.7 goals per game, highlighting their defensive stability. Olancho FC, on the other hand, fields an experienced squad, with an average player age of 29.4 years, suggesting resilience in high-pressure situations. Their attack is spearheaded by centre-forward Rodrigo de Oliveira (10 goals), with attacking midfielder Alexander Lopez and winger Paulinho (both valued at 2.5 million euros) forming the creative core. Their defence relies on the interceptions of centre-back Nelson Munoz and the contributions of right-back Oscar Almendarez (3 goals, 2 assists) from the flanks. However, conceding an average of 1.58 goals per game reveals defensive vulnerabilities.
