Coban Imperial vs Guastatoya Prediction: Can Guastatoya Stay in the Top 5 Standings?

In the upcoming fixture of the Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Guatemala game, Matchday 4, Coban Imperial will prepare to take on Guastatoya at the Stadium Verapaz in Coban. Although Coban Imperial started the season poorly, they still are a solid team at home. Previously, when both teams met in November, both lead the game defensively, until Thales Douglas flipped the tables by scoring the winning, and only goal in the 85th minute, securing Coban’s win by (1-0).

Team Coban Imperial and Guastatoya have come head-to-head 38 times in the past several seasons. Guastatoya leads the win count by (10-17). 23 out of 38 matches ended with a goal score of over 1.5, while only 11 matches ended with both sides scoring. Hence, the upcoming match is expected to be one-sided, seeing that both teams haven’t drawn against each other in their last 3 matches together. Cobán Imperial is seen to be in excellent home form averaging 1.53 goals per game, having won 4 of its last 5 home games. On the other hand, Guastatoya, after facing defeat in 4 of its last 5 away games with 0.38 goals per game, has average away form.

Going in the matchup, Coban Imperials started off to a very rocky start in the season, facing two unfortunate defeats, against Comunicaciones FC and Antigua Guatemala. However, playing at home, this match might just be the golden ticket for Coban Imperial for securing their first win in the season. With a 0.60 goal conceding average at home, the home side has scored in the last 6 games in front of their fans and has kept 3 clean sheets in their past 5 matches. Guastatoya’s defence will have to be at its best today if they're to stop Cobán Imperial from scoring.

Team Guastatoya, started the season with two applauding victories against the visitors, CSD Municipal (2-1) and Deportivo Malacateo (4-1), which is quite encouraging for them. Although the team has tough players like Jonathan Moran, Carlos Roberto and Anderson Edgar, they need to work play more defensively to secure another win, or else they are likely to struggle. Guastatoya averages 1.2 goals per game against Coban Imperial. If Guastatoya keeps attacking the post, we might observe Guastatoya winning another fixture away from home. 

Previously, most matches among the two teams have ended with only team scoring, and Coban Imperial playing at home has a significant advantage over Guastatoya. The final scoreline is expected to be 1-0. However, if Guastatoya manages to score the game total is likely to be over 1.5 goals, and the game to end in a draw. 

• Coban Imperial to Win for 1.60
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.698
• Correct Score 1-0 for 5.50
