In the upcoming fixture of Liga Nacional de Guatemala, Clausura Semi Finals Leg 2 of 2, Xelaju MC, will be up against Guastatoya at the Mario Camposeco Stadium in Quetzaltenango. The two teams are coming off a nail-biting encounter in the first leg and will be looking forward to demonstrating competitive gameplay in order to secure a spot in the all-important final. From the last five matches played between the two, three have resulted in a draw, whereas both teams have managed to win a game each. Continue reading to find out more about the upcoming matchup and possible outcomes. 

With Xelaju playing at home, the upcoming matchup is likely to have the home side as a potential favorite for winning. In 24 of the last 26 matches played at home in Liga Nacional, Xelaju has stood unbeaten. However, about winning, Xelaju has managed to win just 1 of the last 6 matches played at home. With a 42% win record at home in this season, Xelaju averages 1.42 goals per game and has a conceding average of just 0.63 goals per game. In the last five matches played, Xelaju has scored 7 goals, averaging 1.40 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Xelaju has conceded just 4 goals, averaging 0.80 goals per game. Xelaju will be looking forward to winning, even though they failed to secure a win in the last two home matches. 

Going in the matchup, Guastatoya will be looking to produce a sensational performance against the potential home favorites. Guastatoya doesn’t possess a decent record in away matches, as they have won only 2 of the last 26 away matches played in Liga Nacional. Moreover, Guastatoya has drawn and lost the last two fixtures playing away from home. With a win percentage of just 8% in away matches, Guastatoya will be starting as the least favorite for winning. In the last five matches played, Guastatoya has scored just 4 goals, averaging 0.80 goals per game. In contrast to the scoring average, Guastatoya has conceded 6 goals, averaging 1.20 goals per game. 

Considering the poor run of Guastatoya in away fixtures, I am backing the home side to make the most of the home advantage. The match total is expected to be under 2.5 goals, and Xelaju is to win on a clean sheet. The final scoreline is expected to be 2-0, as Guastatoya averages only 0.46 in away fixtures.
