GUATEMALA CITY (Interstat) — A crucial Liga Nacional clash is set for Sunday as Comunicaciones visits Malacateco in a match with significant implications for the league table.

The rivalry, known as one of Guatemala’s most intense, will see Comunicaciones (8-7-5) look to continue its recent dominance over Malacateco (9-9-2). The Cremas have won the last two head-to-head meetings, both 1-0 results on Sept. 16, 2025. However, Comunicaciones enters the match reeling from a 3-1 loss to Antigua GFC last Sunday, a result that snapped a modest two-game winning streak.

Malacateco, in contrast, arrives with momentum, having secured a 1-0 road victory against Coban Imperial last Saturday. It was the team’s third consecutive win, a surge that has bolstered its standing.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Comunicaciones is projected to extend its winning streak against Malacateco with a 2-1 victory. The match will be played at Malacateco’s home stadium Sunday afternoon.
