  • Antigua GFC have the most scored goals (41) in Liga Nacional

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 14-12-17 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.

It's no vacation for neither Malacateco nor Antigua GFC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
