CR vs RE Dream11: Real Esteli will hot the road this week as they seek an immediate return to winning ways having lost the last game when they face Carazo Basketball Club in the 2020 regular season of Nicaragua Basketball League on early Wednesday morning (IST).
——————————————————————————————————————
Esteli must still be smarting over the last result. Not only they lost by the barest of margin 71-72 against Brumas Jinotega, but what was even more painful was that it came in front of the home fans, and against a team that is also fighting for the top place, a direct rival. That negative result left them with a three-match deficit at the top of the table. That gap may look bridgeable, which is, by the way, but it’s hard even for a team with a profile as big as Esteli. And the reason is league leader Costa Caribe’s incredible form at the moment, while the likes of Jinotega, San Isidro and Matagalpa are also in better form. So to assume that Esteli will out-win all these teams by three games in the next couple of weeks looks a bit outstretched at the moment. But you never know. Right now, Esteli are the fourth-best team in the league with a 10-5 record on the season.

For Carazo Basketball Club, the wins are like a Goldust at the moment. They have fallen too far behind in the title race at the moment. In fact, in the current context, even qualifying for playoffs looks very difficult for them, as they are reeling in the bottom half of the table, sitting at 14th in a league of 20 teams with a negative return on the season. They have won only six times in the 13 games heading into this home encounter against Esteli. But Carazo are fresh off snapping a four-game losing run with an improbable 70-73 away win against Chinandega Basketball Club.
