In-Depth Analysis
## Race for the Lead Heats Up
With Luis Ángel Firpo inactive this weekend after a loss in the previous round, the spotlight shifts to Alianza and Águila. Both teams sit on 23 points and have the chance to join Firpo at 26 points with victories.
### Alianza's Opportunity at Dragón Alianza travels to face C.D. Dragón, a team struggling near the bottom of the table (9th place) and undergoing a coaching change. Alianza is in good form, unbeaten in their last four matches (3 wins, 1 draw). A convincing win is crucial, as goal difference could become a factor; Alianza needs a victory margin of four goals or more to potentially overtake Firpo based on current standings.
### Clásico Nacional: FAS vs. Águila All eyes will be on the Estadio Óscar Quiteño on Sunday evening for the 266th Clásico Nacional. C.D. Águila, buoyed by three consecutive wins (including a 4-1 derby win over Dragón), faces a resurgent C.D. FAS. FAS has also won their last three matches, notably defeating league leaders Firpo 2-1 mid-week, climbing to 5th place. While Águila won the last encounter between these rivals (3-1 in February), FAS aims for revenge at home. This classic rivalry match promises intensity and could derail Águila's title chase or solidify FAS's position in the top tier.
### Other Matches to Watch Isidro Metapán, level on points with Alianza and Águila but in 4th place, has a tricky away game against C.D. Cacahuatique. A win keeps Metapán firmly in the title hunt. Elsewhere, Municipal Limeño hosts the reigning champions 11 Deportivo, who are surprisingly languishing near the bottom of the table.
