MAT vs LEO Dream11: Having snapped a two-game losing run with a win in the last match, Matagalpa Basketball club will be looking to record back-to-back wins when they play host to Leon Basketball Club in the Nicaragua Basketball League 2020 regular season match on late Sunday night (IST).
That win was not just another victory for Matagalpa, for it was a big 133-83 win over Basketball Club Chinandega, their best win in terms of offence. With that result, Matagalp improved to 14-2 on the season and sit fourth on the table heading into this match.
Basketball Club Leon, on the other hand, are reeling in the bottom half of the table, but they are coming into this game on the back of a 91-85 win over Boaco, which helped them improve to 8-8 on the season.

Matagalpa vs Leon team news:
Matagalpa: The hosts are in for a boost as key first-team player Elgin Mejia is back to full fitness and should be available for this match. He had a good last match and can be a good addition on the Fantasy Basketball teams.
But Gerson Zeledon and Darwin Almendarez Rocha will be a game-time call, while players such as Carlos Matamoros Lorio, Franklin Zeledon Marin, Francisco Baltodano, Jose Calero and Harold Miranda may not be a good option in the Dream11 Fantasy teams.
Leon: Marcos Orozco Cruz is a doubt for this match and will be monitored ahead of the game. Other than him, no injury concerns for the visitors ahead of this match, but a few players are likely to miss out due to coach’s decision.
