CSD Municipal vs Antigua GFC Prediction: Municipal Looking Positive for Winning the Second Leg

In the upcoming fixture of Liga Nacional de Guatemala, Clausura Quarter Finals Leg 2 of 2, Municipal will be hosting Antigua GFC at the Estadio El Trébol in Guatemala City. With Antigua stretching the lead from the first leg forward, the upcoming matchup could be a tough outing for the home side. The last win against CSD Municipal got Antigua in the driving seat, as Antigua has now defeated Municipal in 4 of the last 5 matches played in Liga Nacional. However, the last time Antigua defeated CSD Municipal in an away fixture was in December 2022. Hence, CSD Municipal can certainly bounce back and equalize the lead early in the first half of play.

Going in the matchup, CSD Municipal is coming off a pressure situation. However, it hasn’t got itself out of the contest by securing a goal. Pedro Altan was spot-on with the opening goal in the 29th minute. However, Municipal couldn’t build on the advantage and score in the second half of play. In the current season, Municipal has been quite fantastic at home, winning 63% of the matches. In terms of scoring, Municipal has scored at an average of 1.88 goals per game. Compared to the scoring average, Municipal has conceded goals at an average of 0.79. Hence, Municipal is likely to fancy its chances for scoring at least 2 goals in the upcoming matchup. CSD Municipal has also won its last two home matches against Iztapa (4-0) and Antigua Guatemala (4-0) in the league round. Therefore, the odds of Municipal winning the upcoming matchup are quite high.

Antigua Guatemala’s confidence will be sky-high as it has managed to win the last outing against CSD Municipal (2-1), in which Dewinder Bradley and Cristian Hernandez scored goals. Despite having a struggling match form, Antigua has managed to deliver crunch performances this season. However, with the tables turning for tomorrow’s matchup, Antigua will be playing away from home. In the last two away matches, Antigua has lost to Municipal (4-0) and secured a win against Malacateco (1-2). About the overall form this season in away matches, Antigua has won just 32% of its away matches, striking at an average of 1.24 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Antigua has conceded goals at an average of 1.56.

As Antigua has a scoring average of 1.24 in away matches, I am expecting both sides to score. Moreover, the match total is expected to be over 2.5 goals. The final scoreline is likely to be 3-1, or the match to be decided on penalties after the match ending in 2-1.
