📰 Team News: Málaga

Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Málaga gaffer Sergio Pellicer to be concerned with. Haitam Abaida (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Málaga are likely to put one past this Eibar outfit, but it may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Eibar when all is said and done. There looks to be little in this one.
