Xelajú have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga Nacional, after 1-2-4 (7 played). Xelajú has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Xelajú delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Cotzumalguapa (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a Liga Nacional game.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Guastatoya wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

After this away game Xelajú return home for a Liga Nacional game against Iztapa. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Xelajú when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Xelajú's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
