GUATEMALA CITY (Interstat) — A surging Mixco side will look to extend its recent dominance over capital city rival Municipal when the Liga Nacional foes meet Wednesday in a key Guatemalan league clash.

The match, set for March 4, 2026, sees a confident Mixco hosting at its home ground. Mixco has won the last two head-to-head meetings, including a 2-1 victory at Municipal’s stadium just three weeks ago on Feb. 14. The previous encounter on Nov. 9, 2025, ended in a 1-0 home win for Mixco.

Current form, however, presents a contrasting picture. Municipal (5-4-5) arrives off a 1-0 home victory over Marquense on Feb. 28, seeking consistency after a mixed run that includes a loss to league leader Comunicaciones. Their attack has shown potency, netting four goals against Antigua GFC on Feb. 21.

Mixco (3-6-5), unbeaten in its last three, is coming off a 2-2 draw with Mictlan on Feb. 26. While strong against their upcoming opponent, Mixco has struggled for wins elsewhere, with just one victory in its last five league matches outside the derby.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 2-1 victory for Municipal, suggesting a potential reversal of the recent trend.

The rivalry, steeped in local pride, often supersedes league standings. Mixco will aim to leverage its psychological edge and home support. Municipal, one of Guatemala’s most decorated clubs, will be desperate to halt the skid against its neighbor and climb the table.

Following this fixture, Municipal faces a congested schedule with a road game at Guastatoya on March 7. Mixco’s next match is a trip to Malacateco on March 14.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. local time Wednesday.
