Guastatoya vs Deportivo Xinabajul Prediction: Home Team Looking to Win Comfortably

In the upcoming fixture of the Liga Nacional de Guatemala, Matchday 13, Guastatoya will take on Xinabajul at the Estadio David Cordón Hichos in Guastatoya. Going in the matchup, Guastatoya stands 2nd with 6 wins and 21 points, whereas Xinabajul stands 4th with 5 wins and 19 points. With 10 more matches to be played by every team in the competition, the pressure is likely to get the best of the players and management involved. Xinabajul and Guastatoya last played in January 2023, and Xinabajul successfully won at home (1-0). For the upcoming matchup, the two sides are coming with a similar match form, however, the odds for Guastatoya winning are justified. 

Guastatoya - Coming off a Draw Against Club Xelaju (DWDWW)

Going in the matchup, Guastatoya is coming off a draw against Club Xelaju (0-0), in which both sides failed to score a single goal upfront. The defenders played their part by minimizing any chances of scoring. Guastatoya has scored 8 goals in the last 5 matches played, averaging 1.6 goals per game. Compared to the scoring average, Guastatoya’s conceding average is just 0.20 goals in the last 5 played. Odds are likely to back Guastatoya’s win as it remained unbeaten in the last 9 home fixtures in Liga Nacional. With the likes of Jorge Vargas, Ruben Morales, and Omar Dominguez in the lineup, Guastatoya is likely to attack and score early in the competition. 

Xinabajul - Coming off a Win Against Comunicaciones FC (WWDDL)

With 2 wins and 2 draws from the last 5 matches played, Xinabajul is likely to start positively. Moreover, they will be hoping to stay steadfast and unbeaten in their approach. In the last outing, Xinabajul defeated Comunicaciones FC (2-1), in which Gerson Tinoco and Carlos Alvarado scored goals. Xinabajul’s away form is a matter of concern, as it has won just 1 of the last 8 away matches played. With a recent goal-scoring average of 0.82 goals in away matches, Xinabajul will be hoping to find the net once. Xinabajul has conceded at least a goal in its last 5 matches and has scored at an average of 1.95 goals per game. With the presence of Jairo Arreola, Brayan Ordonez, and Jesus Zuniga backing up the lineup, Xinabajul can look forward to securing a draw at least.
