To see all of our predictions, user poll & stats for UD Almería v Málaga, scroll down - as well as the best betting odds.
UD Almería go into this fixture following a 0-0 Promotion Play-offs tied result against Málaga.
Rubi Ferrer Sicilia's UD Almería have hit the target 7 times over their prior six outings. At the other end, the number of goals that have been scored against them in those same fixtures is 8.
A run of reliable performances from the Málaga defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their last 6 outings in total. During the same time, their own forwards have managed to score 9. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend shall continue on in this upcoming game.
Inspecting their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 12/02/2022 shows that UD Almería have won 2 of them and Málaga 1, with the tally of draws being 3.
A combined total of 15 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 8 for Almería and 7 belonging to Los Boquerones. The average goals per game has been 2.5.
We are thinking that UD Almería will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 system, handing starts to Andres Fernandez, Daijiro Chirino, Rodrigo Ely, Federico Bonini, Álex Muñoz, Dion Lopy, Stefan Dzodic, Arnau Puigmal, Sergio Arribas, Adrián Embarba and Miguel de la Fuente.
Málaga boss Juan Funes has to choose a team with limited availability. Luismi Sánchez (Midfacial fracture), Álex Pastor (Torn knee ligaments) and Juanpe (Muscle injury) will not be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that Los Boquerones appear most likely to utilise a 4-4-1-1 formation, choosing Alfonso Herrero, Carlos Puga, Diego Murillo, F. Javier Montero, Rafita, David Larrubia, Carlos Dotor, Rafa Rodríguez, Aarón Ochoa, Dani Lorenzo and Adrián Niño.
Our feeling is that Málaga have the capability to put one past this UD Almería lineup, however that probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 win for UD Almería at the end of this one. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
Turning to the betting odds in the full-time result market, a win for UD Almería can be had for 2.01, going for the game finishing all-square is 3.4 & staking on the win for Málaga comes in at 3.3. Those are the best bets on offer at the moment.
