In the ongoing Apertura 2026 of Guatemala’s Liga Nacional, a tight cluster of teams sits near the top of the table after jornada 13, with Municipal, Antigua GFC, and Guastatoya level on 25 points and several others within striking distance. Recent results—including Municipal’s 1-1 draw with Marquense, Antigua’s 2-1 win over Cobán Imperial, and Guastatoya’s 0-2 loss to Malacateco—have kept the leaderboard fluid while goal difference decides current ordering. Mid-table sides such as San Pedro, Mixco, Xelajú MC, and Aurora FC remain in playoff contention with nine rounds left, underscoring broad parity across the league. This depth and lack of separation explain why traders price nearly a dozen clubs at similar implied probabilities for the runner-up spot.
