Head to head
Delving into their past head to head results stretching back to 01/12/2018 tells us that these fixtures have not been good ones for Málaga. They have not managed to register any wins at all whereas Granada have remained in the ascendancy, getting wins in 67% of those ties.
A combined sum of 12 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 4 of them from Los Boquerones and 8 belonging to Nazaríes. That is an average goals per game value of 2.

On that occasion, Granada managed 50% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The scorers were Carlos Neva (56') and Myrto Uzuni (77').

Team News: Málaga
Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Málaga boss Sergio Pellicer to contend with from a near full-strength group. Haitam Abaida (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.
We think that Los Boquerones will possibly opt for a 4-4-2 system for the game with Alfonso Herrero, Diego Murillo, Carlos Puga, Einar Galilea, Dani Sánchez, Antoñito Cordero, Manu Molina, Izan Merino, Julen Lobete, David Larrubia and Chupete.
ℹ️
Team News: Granada
It’s our belief that Nazaríes appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation using Diego Marino, Rubén Sánchez, Miguel Angel Rubio, Loïc Williams, Carlos Neva, Martin Hongla, Sergio Ruiz, Georgiy Tsitaishvili, Gonzalo Villar, Abde Rebbach and Lucas Boye.
💡
Prediction
It’s looking like Granada and Málaga could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.
Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. We’re therefore anticipating a hard-fought 1-1 score at the end of the 90 minutes.
