Malacateco vs Municipal tips and predictions

Closely contested Liga Nacional battle likely to be close

Arguments can be made for both sides in this fixture but the value is with neither side prevailing. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. Creating something of a fortress at home, Malacateco have conceded only 2 goals in their last 5 matches, while Municipal haven't let in a single goal throughout their most recent 3 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 6 of the last 16 have finished on level terms.

It's felt that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet as the match is likely to be tight. The No BTTS bet would be sensible.

Malacateco have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches on their own soil and Municipal have drawn 7 of their last 20 matches. This will probably be a low-scoring affair but the pick has to be with draw and a deadlock looks likely.
