Xinabajul form and stats

Xinabajul have played 9 Liga Nacional games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The Xinabajul crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Xelajú here at Estadio Los Cuchumatanes. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points through four league matches.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Iztapa with a 1-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
