Xelajú form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga Nacional travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Xelajú failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga Nacional home match vs Municipal (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-2. Before that, Xelajú travelled to Antigua GFC and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Xelajú are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. Xelajú have conceded 6 goals in these games.
