For the upcoming contest, Xelaju MC will be starting as away favorites, as Xelaju carries a winning run in the last three consecutive fixtures. With three goals scored in each of the last three matches, I am backing the visitors to score over 2.5 goals and the match total to be 3. Mixco is unlikely to score. Hence, I am predicting only Xelaju to score and win in clean sheets.
