Mictlán and Comunicaciones star this Sunday in one of the most important matches of matchday 18 of the Clausura 2026 Tournament. The duel opens the Sunday matchday at the La Asunción Stadium at 3 p.m. and has a special weight in the accumulated table, where both teams are tied with 48 points each in seventh and eighth place respectively, which turns this confrontation into a direct duel with clear implications in the fight for permanence.
Mictlán arrives as a home team with 24 points in the Clausura 2026, which gives it a slight advantage, although the Conejos are beaten after the 8-2 defeat they suffered against Antigua GFC the previous day. The team led by Gabriel Álvarez needs to regain confidence and the three points at home to move away from the danger zone in the accumulated table.
Comunicaciones, for its part, arrives with high morale after beating Mixco 1-0 the previous day, a result that ended a streak of four consecutive losses. Marco Antonio Figueroa’s Cremas are second in the Clausura with 28 points and arrive with the momentum of that victory and with the need to continue adding to consolidate their position in the accumulated table.
A day that ends on Tuesday
The match between Mictlán and Comunicaciones is the second match of a matchday 18 that will last several days. Municipal will face Cobán Imperial this Sunday at 6 p.m., while Xelajú MC will receive Malacateco at 8 p.m. The remaining matches of the date will be played on Monday and Tuesday, thus completing a day that promises to continue moving the table at all ends.
With both teams equal in the accumulated table, this Sunday’s result could be decisive in the outlook for the final stretch of the tournament. A victory for Mictlán at home would give them an important respite, while a victory for Comunicaciones would move them even further away from the relegation spots and complicate the situation for the Rabbits.
