Xelajú will face Comunicaciones this Friday at Estadio Mario Camposeco during Matchday 11 of the Apertura 2025, according to Prensa Libre. This match features teams with different goals: Xelajú is focused on their international competition, while Comunicaciones seeks to gain traction in the national league.
After a loss to Cobán Imperial, Amarini Villatoro’s team is looking ahead to the quarterfinal match against San Miguelito on Sept. 24 in the Copa Centroamericana. Villatoro is likely to adjust his lineup, using a mix of regular starters and substitutes to protect key players. With 12 points, Xelajú is still in playoff contention, but they need to maintain their focus due to the tight standings.
Comunicaciones, on the other hand, faces a different kind of pressure. They recently ended a four-game losing streak with a 1-0 win over Malacateco, thanks to Darwin Lom. This victory improved their morale as they head to Quetzaltenango, where Roberto Hernández’s team aims to avoid a sixth defeat this season and improve their standings in the top eight.
A notable storyline is the ongoing absence of goalkeeper Fredy Pérez. For the second consecutive match, Hernández has left him out of the squad, labeling the decision as technical. The coach mentioned that Pérez will need to compete for his position following a recent incident with fans. Goalkeepers Arnold Barrios and Jorge Moreno will take his place.
