A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Comunicaciones and Xelajú.
Comunicaciones form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio Cementos Progreso as Comunicaciones, who have the the best goal difference (+11) in Liga Nacional, have scored 18 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Liga Nacional are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Comunicaciones.
The fans are hoping that Comunicaciones will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Liga Nacional game against Deportivo Sanarate (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Antigua GFC that ended 1-1.
The Comunicaciones fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 10 league matches. Comunicaciones have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Xelajú form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Xelajú so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-4 (win-draw-lose).
Xelajú are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Liga Nacional against Antigua GFC (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Guastatoya wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Xelajú are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 10 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Xelajú have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
