ANTIGUA, Guatemala (Interstat) — Antigua GFC hosts Comunicaciones on Wednesday night in a Liga Nacional matchup that pits a resurgent home side against a visiting team looking to rediscover its finishing touch.

Antigua carries a three-match winning streak against Comunicaciones into the April 29 contest. The most recent meeting came March 19, when Antigua earned a 1-0 shutout on the road. That victory followed Antigua’s 3-1 home win Nov. 16 and a 3-0 home triumph Sept. 13.

Antigua (6-3-1 in its last 10 league matches) enters the match on a mixed run. The club played to a 2-2 draw at Achuapa on Sunday, a result that snapped a two-match winning streak. Prior to that, Antigua posted a 2-1 victory at Deportivo Zacapa on April 5 and a 1-0 win at Marquense on March 23. The home side has been particularly stingy defensively, recording clean sheets in four of its last six outings, including the shutout against Comunicaciones last month.

Comunicaciones (3-2-5 in its last 10) arrives with momentum after a dominant 5-0 victory at Guastatoya on Sunday. That result provided a much-needed boost for a team that had struggled to score, managing just two goals in its previous five matches. Before the Guastatoya rout, the club had suffered three consecutive defeats, including a 1-0 loss to Mixco on April 2 and a 1-0 setback at Marquense on March 29.

The head-to-head record favors Antigua, which has outscored Comunicaciones 7-1 in their three most recent meetings. Wednesday’s fixture also marks the third time this season the clubs have faced off, with Antigua winning both previous encounters.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw. The prediction reflects the tight nature of a rivalry where Antigua has held the upper hand, but where Comunicaciones’ recent offensive explosion — coupled with its need to climb the standings — suggests a more competitive affair than recent results indicate.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time.
