Betting on Deportivo Malacateco
Yes, Malacateco already has two games in hand (both postponed), but it has only won two games so far in the league. In fact, the team has now gone seven consecutive challenges without a win, and is not improving in any way.
The last victory was at home against Santa Lucia by 3-0. The last two games, however, have been extremely painful defeats. The first one was against Achuapa by 4-3. In that game, Malacateco was ahead until the 68th minute, but gave the rival several opportunities. This was a terrible idea, because in 10 minutes, the enemy team turned the score around.
In the last match against Coban Imperial, in which it played with one less player for most of the second half, Malacateco lost by the minimum difference. In fact, it was unable to make its home advantage count, let alone generate any real danger.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Dario Silva; Raúl Calderón, Juan Vacca, Jaikel Medina, Durban Medina; Jorge Laparra, Kevin Ramírez, Yonathan Morán; Jhon Córdoba, Feiver Mercado, Tobit Vásquez.
Betting on Deportivo Guastatoya
Guastatoya holds second place with a game already in hand, but comes in very good form. It has gone six games without defeat, and is five points behind leaders Xelajú. Qualifying is almost a given for this team, but doing so holding first place would be ideal.
When Guastatoya wins, it does so in a resounding manner. The team registered a 3-0 win against Achuapa, a 1-0 win against Santa Lucia, a 3-0 win against Mixco, and the last 4-1 win against Xinabajul. The problem lies in the fact that all these victories have been at home, and when it plays away, things get a little complicated.
In enemy grounds, it has got a 2-0 win over Comunicaciones, a 1-1 draw against Iztapa, and a scoreless draw against Xelajú. It is another team playing away from the David Cordón Hichos, which is not good at all if the team wants to keep adding points. It is a fact that Guastatoya doesn’t lose, but it doesn’t win either.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Adrián de Lemos; Víctor Armas; Omar Dominguez, Walter Garcia, Brayan Morales; Wilson Pineda, Néstor Chamalé, Marco Rivas, Bernabé Hernández; Jonathan Morán, Jorge Vargas.
JefeBet Prediction
Guastatoya is strong, but it falls apart on enemy grounds. Malacateco, on the other hand, has a need for points that will make the upcoming encounter evenly matched. That is why JefeBet predicts that the Malacateco vs Guastatoya game will end in a draw, just as the last few challenges have been for Guastatoya.
Prediction: Draw Moneyline (MAL 1-1 GUA).
