This could be an interesting match as Iztapa have their presumed home advantage while Antigua GFC are ahead 0 points in the Liga Nacional table.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga Nacional match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Guastatoya, so at least Iztapa are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Antigua GFC have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-15-11 (win-draw-loss) from 38 matches.

Iztapa form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga Nacional numbers at home for Iztapa, who have the most conceded goals (16) in Liga Nacional, so far this season.

Stress levels are on the rise for Iztapa's attacking players as they have now played 271 minutes without scoring in a league game. H. Quezada was their last goal scorer.

Iztapa are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Guastatoya. Preceding that match was a defeat to Municipal (0-1).

There will be little rest for Iztapa after this match as they are travelling to Malacateco for a Liga Nacional game in only four days.

The Iztapa manager R. Cepeda Alvarado has got the team scoring with 11 from 5 home games in the league. Iztapa have conceded 7 in these home matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Antigua GFC are hosting Deportivo Sanarate in the Liga Nacional only four days away.
