Guatemalan league runners-up CSD Municipal is set to meet reigning El Salvadoran 2015 Clausura champs Santa Tecla FC to continue the group matches of the 2015-2016 CONCACAF Champions League tournament.
The Group G match will be held on Tuesday at the Estadio Mateo Flores in Guatemala City, home of Los Rojos and the Guatemalan national football team.
This would be the second meeting of the two squads in the group classifications after their first encounter ended in a 1-1 draw at Santa Tecla's Estadio Las Delicias on Thursday last week.
Municipal forward Johnny Woodly and Santa Tecla defender Giovanni Zavaleta scored the goals in the match who ended in tied after regulation play.
Both teams acquired one point each in the overall standings. Group G is paced by Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake with 3 points after defeating Municipal in their opening game, 1-0, also at the Estadio Mateo Flores.
A win in this match would give either team a chance to overtake Real Salt Lake at the top and advance to the tourney's knockout stages.
Prediction: Municipal wins, 1-0. With their home crowd behind them, Enzo Trossero's squad will find extra motivation to pull off the win. El Pichi Escudero's wards are sure to have a hard time finding the net in Guatemala City.
