Fans of both teams await the Promotion Play-offs action happening on Saturday when UD Almería will take on Málaga.
Our UD Almería v Málaga predictions, statistics and match poll can be seen below - plus the latest betting odds.
UD Almería will play in this fixture after a 0-0 Promotion Play-offs drawn game 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.
Looking at their prior head to head meetings dating back to 12/02/2022 shows us that UD Almería have won 2 of these and Málaga 1, with the tally of drawn results being 3.
A sum of 15 goals were scored between them in this period, with 8 from Almería and 7 being from Los Boquerones. That is an average goals per game value of 2.5.
It looks as if UD Almería look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with 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 from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Luismi Sánchez (Midfacial fracture), Álex Pastor (Torn knee ligaments) and Juanpe (Muscle injury) are not able to play.
It’s our belief that Los Boquerones could decide to play in a 4-4-1-1 formation, starting 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.
