Málaga
DWWLWL
Málaga will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-0 La Liga 2 losing effort in their last game against Elche CF.
In that match, Málaga had 43% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Elche had 17 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Sory Kaba (76') and Mourad El Ghezouani (93') scored for Elche CF.
Over their prior six games, Sergio Pellicer's Málaga have found the net 6 times resulting in an average number of goals scored per match of 1.
Burgos
DLLWLL
After a loss in their previous game against Levante in La Liga 2 action, Burgos and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Burgos had 41% possession and 8 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Burgos was Fernando Niño (1', 35'). On the other side, Levante UD had 16 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. José Luis Morales (21'), Roger Brugué (85') and Carlos Álvarez (97') scored for Levante.
The stats don’t lie, and Burgos have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 11 goals overall. At the back, Burgos could really do with shoring things up. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if such a trend might be replicated in this game or not.
Coming into this clash, Burgos are without a win away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.
👥

📋
Team News: Málaga
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Málaga gaffer Sergio Pellicer to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Haitam Abaida (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.
We are thinking that Los Boquerones will probably go for a 4-4-2 system in the match, handing starts to Alfonso Herrero, Diego Murillo, Nélson Monte, Álex Pastor, Jokin Gabilondo, Antoñito Cordero, Manu Molina, Luismi, Julen Lobete, David Larrubia and Chupete.
ℹ️
Team News: Burgos
Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Burgos gaffer Luis Ramis to be concerned about. Kévin Appin (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.
We believe Burgos will likely make use of a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of A. C. Armendariz, Anderson Arroyo, Aitor Córdoba, Florian Miguel, Iñigo Córdoba, Álex Sancris, Miguel Angel Atienza, Iván Morante, David González, Edu Espiau and Fernando Niño.
💡
Prediction
We’re envisaging that Burgos might need a bit of good fortune to find the net against this Málaga lineup who we think might well just have the edge.
We’re therefore predicting a good battle with a 1-0 winning score for Málaga at the end of the 90 minutes.
Should be a close one.

⚽️ What are the best odds for the game?
