Mixco prepare to host Antigua GFC at the home ground on March 28, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Liga Nacional season.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Liga Nacional contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. Mixco will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. The visitors will back themselves to cause problems and will not make the trip expecting an easy afternoon. The on-loan Southampton striker had scored on his debut for Auxerre in defeat last weekend but followed it up with the winning goal against Nice to earn his old boss Will Still his first points in the job.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Mixco and Antigua GFC have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. Their press is quick and co-ordinated in some areas of the pitch and not others.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Despite these links, United will not be parting ways with the Slovenian striker.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With positions in the Liga Nacional table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
