Team News: Málaga
Luismi Sánchez (Midfacial fracture), Álex Pastor (Torn knee ligaments) and Juanpe (Muscle injury) won’t be able to feature for Málaga boss Juan Funes.
It’s our opinion that Los Boquerones should use a 4-4-2 formation this time, utilising Alfonso Herrero, Carlos Puga, Diego Murillo, Einar Galilea, Rafita, David Larrubia, Izan Merino, Dani Lorenzo, Aarón Ochoa, Carlos Dotor and Chupete.
ℹ️
Team News: UD Las Palmas
Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there is just the sole fitness problem for the UD Las Palmas boss Luis García to be concerned with. Jeremía Recoba (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.
We’re of the thinking that UD Las Palmas will likely make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Dinko Horkaš, Marvin Park, Alex Suárez, Mika Mármol, Enrique Clemente, F. Jesús Crespo, Lorenzo Amatucci, Kirian Rodríguez, Taisei Miyashiro, Jesé and Manuel Fuster.
💭
Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that UD Las Palmas might need a bit of good fortune to see themselves scoring against this Málaga team who we think should score one, at least.
We’re going for a 1-0 advantage for Málaga at the end of the 90 minutes.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
