CD Marathon vs AlajuelensePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

At the Yankel Rosenthal in San Pedro Sula, CD Marathon arrive on the back of two wins: 2-1 away at Génesis and 3-0 at home against Real Estelí. In their last five games they have lost once, 0-1 at home to Alianza, and drawn 1-1 with Real Espana in front of their own crowd; a 1-0 away at Atlético Choloma completes the picture. LD Alajuelense have been more uneven. Their latest result is a 1-1 away at Perez Zeledon, preceded by a 3-1 at home against Plaza Amador; before that came two straight 0-1 defeats, against San Carlos on their own ground and away at Firpo, and further back a 2-1 over Puntarenas FC. Their last five therefore read two wins, one draw and two defeats. There is a single previous meeting on record between the two: the 3-1 home win for LD Alajuelense in August 2024.
