Málaga

LWWDLL

Málaga will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 3-0 La Liga 2 loss in their previous game against Espanyol.

In that game, Málaga had 51% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. Espanyol had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target. Raúl de Tomás (15', 77') and Javi Puado (40') scored for Espanyol.

A recurring trait of recent Málaga games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their prior six matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have been a losing one.

Ahead of this meeting, Málaga have not registered a win against Mallorca in their previous 2 matches in the league.

Mallorca

WDWLLW

Mallorca head into the meeting following on from a 2-1 La Liga 2 win in the defeat of CD Mirandés in their last fixture.

In that match, Mallorca had 38% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Mallorca was Abdón Prats (44'). CD Mirandés got 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Dani Vivian (51' Own goal) and Näis Djouahra (64') scored for CD Mirandés.

A series of accomplished performances by the Mallorca defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their last 6 outings combined. In that period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 6. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, though.

Their prior results show that Mallorca:

• are undefeated by Málaga when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

📰 Team News: Málaga

Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Málaga boss Sergio Pellicer to contend with due to a largely intact set of players. Iván Calero (Ruptured knee ligament) will miss out. Iván Calero cannot play in this game through suspension.

ℹ️ Team News: Mallorca

Owing to a fully injury-free squad available for selection, Mallorca boss Luis García does not have any fitness concerns at all before this clash.

✨ Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Málaga will have to perform well to breach the defence of this Mallorca lineup who we think might gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore anticipating a good battle with a 0-1 winning score for Mallorca when the full-time whistle blows.

Little in this one.
