There are only 2 recent head‑to‑heads between these two teams: on 25‑09‑2022, which ended in a (1‑1) draw, and another on 25‑06‑2022, which ended in a (1‑1) draw, In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Progreso

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 10th last season. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 21 conceded.

Right from the Apertura, there’s a chance to show the squad’s true potential. Their home opener carries added significance. Facing a newly-promoted Central Español, the challenge is to take control. A strong start could restore confidence and set the season back on track.
