Málaga Espanyol betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 14^th position of the league, with 22 points won, after 5 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Real Madrid, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Osasuna, by (1‑1). Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 5 points in away matches and only at their stadium. For the league, Málaga won 17 points out of 27 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 9 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 9 of the last 9 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 20 matches for the Primera División, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 4. In the last 11 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Málaga start on this round after an equalizer to one ball, on the way to Osasuna. The greater valence of the house gang lies in their ability to react to a disadvantage. It should be noted that from the defensive point of view, the difficulties increase when the opposing team attacks through the wings. The Uruguayan Michael Santos is the player responsible for putting the defensive opponent in the direction, and the highest quality is the finalization. The coach will not be able to count on Kuzmanovic, Ricca, Weligton and Sandro Ramirez for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Carlos Kameni, Roberto Rosales, Juankar, Luis Hernández, Pablo Fornals, Javi Ontiveros, Ignacio Camacho, Juanpi Añor, Chori Castro, Michael Santos.
Coach: M. Demichelis, J. Mel Pérez.
