CD Mirandés

WWLDWL

CD Mirandés will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-0 La Liga 2 defeat last time out to SD Huesca.

In that game, CD Mirandés managed 23% possession and 4 shots on goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Huesca had 26 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Patrick Soko (36') was the scorer for SD Huesca.

Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that things are going according to plan in the CD Mirandés defence. CD Mirandés have been stingy, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their previous six games standing at 4.

Looking at their past form shows that CD Mirandés:

• haven't beaten Málaga in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their last 6 league matches at home.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head duels dating back to 01/03/2021, it’s been all-even between these two clubs with CD Mirandés winning 2 of those games, Málaga 2 and 2 being drawn in normal time.

An aggregate of 12 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 of them from Rojillos and 6 being from Los Boquerones. That is an average goals per game value of 2.

The previous league game featuring these sides was La Liga 2 match day 2 on 24/08/2024 when the final score was Málaga 1-1 CD Mirandés.

That time, Málaga had 68% possession and 7 shots at goal with 3 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Dioni (79').

On the other side, CD Mirandés had 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Joaquín Panichelli (40') was the scorer.

The referee was Sergiu Muresan.

🗞️ Team News: CD Mirandés

It seems likely that Rojillos will probably opt for a 3-5-2 formation and select Raúl Fernández, Pablo Tomeo, Juan Gutiérrez, Julio Alonso, Hugo Rincón, Alberto Reina, Jon Gorrotxategi, Ander Martín, Urko Izeta, Joaquín Panichelli and Iker Benito.

ℹ️ Team News: Málaga

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Málaga gaffer Sergio Pellicer to be concerned about. Haitam Abaida (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.

We reckon that Los Boquerones seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system by sending out Alfonso Herrero, Carlos Puga, Álex Pastor, Nélson Monte, Víctor García, Luca Sangalli, Manu Molina, Luismi, Antoñito Cordero, Julen Lobete and Dioni.

💭 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Málaga could find themselves up against it to put one past this CD Mirandés side who should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore tipping a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for CD Mirandés at the end of this one.

There should be little in it.
