Venue: Estadio Municipal Mateo Sicay Paz (5500 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estadio Municipal Mateo Sicay Paz haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Siquinalá languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Antigua GFC will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-12-14 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.

Siquinalá can neither be promoted or relegated from Liga Nacional.

Siquinalá form and stats

With 1 Liga Nacional win, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Siquinalá, who have the fewest points (5) at home in Liga Nacional, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Siquinalá are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Municipal Mateo Sicay Paz with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Mixco match.

A good away victory last time out for Siquinalá, who won 1-0 against Guastatoya (placed 4th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Comunicaciones (2-3).

The manager A. Barrios will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Xelajú in only three days.

Siquinalá are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.

Antigua GFC form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (4) away in Liga Nacional, are W2-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Liga Nacional.

Antigua GFC are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Liga Nacional against Cotzumalguapa (placed 10th). A 0-2 defeat away at Cobán Imperial before that.

As mentioned above, Antigua GFC was the only team on the pitch versus Cotzumalguapa in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

After this away game Antigua GFC return home for a Liga Nacional game against Guastatoya. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Antigua GFC have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Antigua GFC have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
