GUATEMALA CITY (Interstat) — Achuapa hosts Antigua GFC on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in a Liga Nacional match that carries significant playoff implications. A simulation by Interstat projects a 2-1 victory for the visiting Antigua GFC.

The game renews a tightly contested rivalry defined by home-field advantage. In their last four meetings, each team has won twice, and all victories occurred on home turf. That includes Achuapa’s 1-0 win over Antigua GFC on March 7, 2026, and Antigua GFC’s 1-0 home win on Oct. 11, 2025. In a unique doubleheader on Aug. 2, 2025, each team recorded a 2-0 home victory.

Antigua GFC enters the match on a strong run. The club has won three of its last four matches, including a 2-1 decision at Deportivo Zacapa on April 5. Its only defeat in that stretch was the 1-0 loss at Achuapa on March 7. The team also owns recent wins over Marquense (1-0), Comunicaciones (1-0) and a draw with Xelaju. Overall, Antigua GFC has won seven of its last 11 contests, with two losses and two draws.

Achuapa, meanwhile, is coming off a 3-0 loss at Xelaju on April 16. That defeat snapped a brief run of form that included a 1-0 win over Malacateco on April 12. The team has been inconsistent, alternating strong defensive performances with heavy losses. Achuapa beat Cobán Imperial 1-0 on March 22 but lost 4-0 to Comunicaciones on March 8 and fell 2-1 to Municipal on April 2. At home, however, Achuapa has been resilient: the club has won its last two home matches against Antigua GFC, dating to Aug. 2, 2025.

The March 7 victory over Antigua GFC was Achuapa’s only home win against a club currently in the top half of the standings. Antigua GFC, conversely, has been solid on the road, earning wins at Zacapa and Marquense.

Kickoff is set for Sunday at Estadio Municipal de Achuapa. The match is part of the Liga Nacional Clausura season.
