Guatemala Liga Nacional Matchday 16 match analysis
Xelajú MC – Municipal
The head-to-head record points towards a relatively low goal tally for the hosts. Xelajú MC have scored no more than one goal in 17 of their last 18 Liga Nacional meetings with Municipal, including 15 of the last 16 at home. Such consistency in this matchup makes Xelajú MC under 1.5 team goals a reasonable option.

Prediction for Xelajú MC – Municipal on October 24, 2026: Xelajú MC under 1.5 team goals (odds 1.58)
Comunicaciones – Antigua GFC
Antigua GFC have a good chance of extending their scoring run in Matchday 16. Comunicaciones have conceded in 12 of their last 13 league games, while Antigua GFC have scored in 14 of their last 15 Liga Nacional matches. Another argument comes from their latest meeting in August, when Antigua GFC won 2:0. The hosts are in the lower part of the standings, whereas the visitors sit first. The question is whether Comunicaciones can contain one of the league's most productive attacks.

Prediction for Comunicaciones – Antigua GFC on October 24, 2026: Antigua over 1 team goal (odds 1.87)
Guastatoya – Deportivo Mixco
Guastatoya's home scoring record and Deportivo Mixco's defensive problems on the road make a goal for the hosts a logical selection. Guastatoya have scored in 19 of their last 20 home league matches, while Mixco have conceded in 25 consecutive away fixtures. The key question is whether Guastatoya can extend their impressive home run against opponents who repeatedly struggle defensively away from home.

Prediction for Guastatoya – Deportivo Mixco on October 24, 2026: Guastatoya to score (odds 1.58)
Cobán Imperial – Marquense
Cobán Imperial regularly improve after halftime: they have scored in the second half in seven consecutive Liga Nacional games and have also found the net after the break in eight of their last nine home head-to-head meetings with Marquense. In their last two home matches against this opponent, Cobán scored two and three goals respectively. Can Marquense finally keep the hosts quiet after the interval?

Prediction for Cobán Imperial – Marquense on October 25, 2026: Cobán Imperial to score in the second half (odds 1.53)
Deportivo San Pedro – Deportivo Malacateco
Deportivo Malacateco look interesting with a positive handicap given their resilience in this matchup. The visitors have covered a +1.5-goal handicap in six consecutive away head-to-head fixtures with Deportivo San Pedro, as well as in six of their last seven games this season. Those figures support a bet on Malacateco avoiding a heavy defeat.
Match link: Deportivo San Pedro – Deportivo Malacateco
Prediction for Deportivo San Pedro – Deportivo Malacateco on October 25, 2026: Deportivo Malacateco +1.5 handicap (odds 1.54)
Suchitepéquez – Aurora
Both teams' statistics suggest a good chance of goals at either end. Suchitepéquez have both scored and conceded in six consecutive home league games, while Aurora have exchanged goals with their opponents in eight of their last nine Liga Nacional fixtures. The hosts' home trend is particularly striking: even when Suchitepéquez score, they have been unable to keep a clean sheet.

Prediction for Suchitepéquez – Aurora on October 25, 2026: Both teams to score – yes (odds 1.75)
