Competition: Guatemala Liga Nacional
Date: Sat 10.August
Match begins: 02:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Mario Camposeco (11200 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the Liga Nacional table has to be read with caution. So far Xelajú find themselves in 5th position and Iztapa are placed 12th.

It's no vacation for neither Xelajú nor Iztapa 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.

Xelajú form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Xelajú's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Mario Camposeco.

The Xelajú supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Iztapa in Liga Nacional and win 3-2. Preceding that game was the away draw at Malacateco that finished 0-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Xelajú's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won 3 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

At Estadio Mario Camposeco, Xelajú has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 fixtures.

Iztapa form and stats

It's not happening yet for Iztapa on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Recent form does not give Iztapa much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Xelajú will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Iztapa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Iztapa, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Xelajú in the Liga Nacional. A 0-1 loss hosting Antigua GFC before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Iztapa when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 0 and winning 0 games.

It's early days yet, but Iztapa has scored 2 and conceded 5 goals from their travels so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Xelajú - Iztapa 3-2 earlier this season. As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's 5 Xelajú victories, 3 draws and 1 Iztapa win. 3 of these games ended with three goals or more, 6 matches with two goals or less.
