LD Alajuelense and CD Marathon meet again in the CONCACAF Central American Cup, with both sides returning to this competition after drawing 2-2 in their first encounter earlier this month.
Alajuelense head into this fixture under pressure. The Costa Rican side have lost two of their last three domestic matches, including a 3-1 defeat to CS Cartagines on September 14, and will need a sharper display to advance their continental ambitions.
Marathon, by contrast, arrive in strong form. The Honduran outfit have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 victory over CD Olimpia just days ago.
The first meeting between these sides in this campaign ended level, with both teams sharing six goals across two legs in 2024 and 2026. Alajuelense will be looking to replicate their 3-1 win from the 2024 edition, while Marathon will back themselves to build on recent momentum.
With viewing options confirmed for fans in the United States, here is everything you need to know about where to watch this CONCACAF Central American Cup fixture.
