Xinabajul vs CSD Municipal Prediction: Three Important Win Points on the Line

In the upcoming fixture of Liga Nacional de Guatemala, Matchday 18, Xinabajul will take on CSD Municipal at the Estadio Los Cuchumatanes in Huehuetenango. Xinabajul stands 4th with 7 wins and 27 points, whereas Municipal stands 5th with 7 wins and 25 points. The points difference is squeezing between the top five teams, which makes the upcoming fixture more interesting to predict. CSD Municipal and Xinabajul last played against each other in February, and Municipal won (3-0). Since 2011, the two have played on 5 occasions, and Municipal has won every single time. Carrying the winning momentum and head-to-head domination forward, Municipal will be looking to win away from home.

Considering the game form of Club Xelaju, the previous fixture of Xinabajul was predicted to end in a draw. However, both sides failed to score; this was something that wasn’t predicted. Xinabajul has drawn two, won two, and lost a match in the last five played. Talking about goal scoring, Xinabajul has scored 8 goals in the last 5 matches played, averaging 1.60 goals per game. Compared to the scoring average, Xinabajul’s conceding average is 1.40 goals. Xinabajul hasn’t allowed goals in the last 2 matches, which gets them the advantage of minimizing the scoring from the other end. With the likes of Marvin Ceballos and Pedro Dantaz in the lineup, Xinabajul is likely to come out solid and win this time around Municipal. 

Going in the matchup, CSD Municipal is coming off a fine win against Guastatoya (1-0) and against Deportivo Achuapa (5-1) previously. In the last outing against Guastatoya, Rudy Barrientos scored the only goal for Municipal in the 52nd minute of play. With three consecutive wins under the belt, Municipal will be targeting another win, and that too against Xinabajul, who they have dominated in the past. About the goal scoring, Municipal has scored 11 goals in the last five and conceded 7 goals. Hence, Municipal has done quite well, playing with an overall balanced strategy. Matias Rotondi will be in the spotlight for scoring another hat trick or back-to-back goals against Xinabajul. 

For the upcoming matchup, CSD Municipal will be approaching with gun attackers and midfielders in the lineup. Considering the match-form of Municipal and previous head-to-head wins against Xinabajul, the upcoming matchup is likely to end in Municipal’s favor. The match total is expected to be over 2.5 goals, as Municipal averages 2.20 goals in its last 5 matches. Secondly, Xinabajul has failed to score in its last two matches, which makes them unlikely to score in the upcoming match against Municipal.
