The Clausura 2025 tournament is about to reach half of its season since Between March 1 and 2 the date of the championship will be heldso only 11 more days will subtract to finish the classification phase and several important things are determined.
One of those things at stake is the descent to the First Division. The Clausura 2025 was from the beginning an atypical tournament since it is playing with one team less, this because Deportivo Zacapa could not meet the minimum economic solvency requirements and not presenting to account for the National League, This determined its administrative decrease and left a single place more.
This resolution was decisive for the rest of the championship as it would force other teams in the fight not to descend to get better results to avoid falling into the danger zone.
This situation was the one that ended up doing Marquense Deportivo under the technical direction of Hernán Medford, since despite having lost at the table the points of the match against Xinabajul Huehue, it remains on a streak and accumulates eight undefeated games and 16 points that make him add 28 units in the accumulated table In order to be able to leave the danger zone.
Otherwise it was that of the Guastatoya CD, which in nine games played hardly and exceeds the performance of Achuapa (seven points against six) and remains in the basement of the accumulated table with 21 units against the 27 of the onions.
This means that Guastatoya would be the candidate to descend if he does not achieve favorable results In the second round and if Achuapa does not raise his head, he could even take the yellow chest place.
On the other hand, The upper part is still dominated by Municipal That after ten dates there is already a lack of playing number 11, it remains as a leader in both the general and accumulated table.
With its 48 points the scarlet painting would be staying with the ticket to the Central American Cup of the Concacaf in case it does not become a champion, while the second place is Xelajú MC with 42 units and closes the Imperial Cobán podium with 41.
