Nicaragua League 2020 – EST vs DIR Fantasy Preview

It’s a real pity that we have to wait only or weekends in order to get some exciting football action and sometimes if we’re lucky, we get the rare weekday games as well. We’ve reached match week 17 of the 2019/20 Nicaragua Premier League and today, we have a table-top clash as #2 Real Esteli FC finds themselves in action mid-week.

They have played 16 games and managed 9 wins while they play a team that also has 9 wins in 16 games, but is one spot lower at 3# on the points table – Diriangén. Esteli has managed 8 goals more so far, so we know where we need to pick more attacking options today! Keep reading for our complete MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) fantasy preview of the EST vs DIR game…

Numbers

  • Head to head in last 5 games, the teams are tied 1-1, with 3 draws.
  • Taufic Guarch – 5 goals and 2 assists so far this 2019/20 season.

Real Esteli

So far, their star performer has been Taufic Guarch who has started 8 times and been substituted in 8 times, which makes him a fantastic pick as there isn’t a big number of fantasy teams picking him. We need plenty of attacking options from this side and that’s why I’m also adding striker Brandon Ayerdis to my team who has only 3 goals since March but he was one of the scorers in their 3-1 victory a couple of days back.

Their third scorer in that last game was Edgar Castillo-Bellorin and this mid-fielder has also been having a good season so far, with 4 goals and 3 assists, so he’s even a possibility for your fantasy team captain or vice-captain. In the backend, Nicaragua national team member Cristian Mauriel-Gutierrez will be very important and he has also found the net once in the tournament so far.

Diriangén

Prior to a goalless last game, the team won 3-0 and in that game, it was mid-fielder Victor Parrales who scored twice, those two being his only 2 goals in the season so far. Adding him to your your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) fantasy team could be worth the gamble because he’s picked by only 5% teams. Their hero so far has been Danilo Zuniga who has an impressive 5 goals and 4 assists this season already.

Having started in the playing eleven in all 16 games this season so far, striker Bernardo Laureiro is a safe bet for your EST vs DIR fantasy team today, but he’d want to improve on just 4 goals and 3 assists this tournament. Both teams have allowed 10 goals each this season but your goal-keeper pick should be the 20-year old Ronaldo Espinoza because he’s been picked by less than 5% teams for this encounter today.
