The Liga Nacional league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Mixco and Iztapa are placed 12th and 3rd respectively.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Iztapa's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Iztapa have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats with the goal stats 4-5 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Mixco form and stats
Mixco have less points than they have played home games in the Liga Nacional so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point. Mixco has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager W. Claverí Alvarado and the players.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 261 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. Marroquín was the last player to find the net.
Mixco lost their last game at Guastatoya (placed 5th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Municipal (0-1).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Mixco as they are travelling to their away game against Malacateco in the Liga Nacional. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Mixco at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Iztapa form and stats
Four points from two away games for Iztapa, meaning one draw and one victory in the Liga Nacional so far.
There were no winners in Iztapa's previous match, a Liga Nacional home game that ended 2-2 vs Comunicaciones (placed 2nd). Before that, Iztapa travelled to Cobán Imperial and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
A new game in only four days for Iztapa, the Liga Nacional home match versus Siquinalá. Busy days.
It's early days yet, but Iztapa has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Mixco - Iztapa 2-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Mixco won six games, zero matches ended with a draw and Iztapa has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
