Xelajú form and stats

Seven points from three Liga Nacional home games is a great start for Xelajú, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio Mario Camposeco.

The Xelajú goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 216 minutes without conceding a goal in the Liga Nacional.

Xelajú enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Iztapa's place. The match ended 1-0.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Municipal that ended 0-0.

Xelajú are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Defensively Xelajú have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (0 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Malacateco form and stats

The Liga Nacional season is young and Malacateco have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Malacateco seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Malacateco won their last game, 1-0 versus Coban Imperial played at home.

A 2-4 defeat away at Iztapa before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Malacateco as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Malacateco's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head statistics (for the preceeding ten meetings): Xelajú won two games, six matches ended with a draw and Malacateco got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
