Very important face-off in the lower part of the Liga Nacional, with both Iztapa and Mixco enduring more distress than glee. This game is a classic "six-pointer" with the host team positioned 9th and the visiting team in 11th place.

Insights:
  • Iztapa have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Liga Nacional
  • Mixco have the fewest scored goals (17) in Liga Nacional

This football pitch uses the playing surface grass, unlike Mixco's home arena. The previous 35 games by the guests on grass have given 5 wins, 15 draws and 15 losses.

These teams have little in common geographically as Mixco have to travel 4700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
