MAT vs CN Dream11: Matagalpa Basketball Club will be looking to get their season back on track when they play hosts to Chinandega Basketball in the Nicaragua Basketball League 2020 regular season match on early Sunday morning (IST).
Matagalpa made a 13-game winning start to the season, but the defeats in the last two games took the shine out of their imperious looking record, but they are the top team and will be back to their best.
As for Basketball Club Chinandega, the writings may be on the wall, as they continue to slip down the table. At this stage in the competition, a negative result can be catastrophic and Chinandega are in position where they need to win most of their remaining matches.
