In the upcoming fixture of Liga Nacional de Guatemala, Matchday 19, Xelaju MC will be hosting Coban Imperial at the Mario Camposeco Stadium in Quetzaltenango. With Xelaju leading the table standings with 10 wins and 36 points, the upcoming matchup will decide whether Xelaju will keep the top spot or Comunicaciones will take over. Coban Imperial stands 9th with 4 wins and 17 points and will be hoping to maximize three win points. Xelaju MC and Coban Imperial last played against each other in February 2023, and Xelaju won 0-1. The last five matches played between the two have resulted in a total of under 2.5 goals and only one team scoring in the winning cause.

Going in the matchup, Xelaju MC is coming off a draw against Deportivo Malacateco (1-1) and a draw previously against Xinabajul (0-0). The previous fixture’s prediction was on point as Xelaju secured another draw in the last five matches played. In the last outing, Francisco Lopez scored the only goal for Xelaju in the 45th minute of play. In the last five matches played, Xelaju has drawn three, lost one, and won a fixture. With the points table getting evenly competitive, Xelaju might look to shift and upgrade their approach a bit in order to secure three win points. In the last five matches played, Xelaju has scored just 7 goals, including 6 goals against Deportivo Achuapa. 

Going in the matchup, Coban Imperial is coming off a defeat against Mixco (0-1), in which the home side failed to score a single goal. Coban Imperial carried an unbeaten form until it got defeated in the last match. In the last five matches played, Coban Imperial has secured 2 wins and 2 draws. Moving forward, Coban Imperial has scored 5 and conceded just 2 goals in the last five matches played. Considering the perfect conceding average, Coban Imperial will be looking positive to restrict the opposition to under 2 goals. 

Though Coban Imperial stands quite low in the points table, it’s unbeaten form in the past few matches was spectacular. Moreover, the dry spell of Xelaju is a matter of concern, which makes the upcoming matchup interesting and tricky for the two sides. I am expecting Coban Imperial to upset the opposition or the match to end in a draw, with both sides managing to score a goal. The match total is also likely to b3 under 2.5 goals. 

• Double Chance - Draw or Coban Imperial for 1.80
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.53
