Bookmakers make Granada slight favourites to come out on top in this match.

Odds: Granada (5/4) Draw (11/5) Malaga (23/10) Gamingtips Prediction – Granada 1:1 Malaga 

Granada finished 15th in the Spanish Primera last season.

They scored 37 goals in 38 games and conceded 54.

Malaga finished 6th last season scoring 53 goals in 38 games and conceding 50.

Based on last season, Malaga are overpriced at 23/10 however they have struggled so far this season with just 3 wins from their opening 12 games.

Granada scored less than one goal per game on average last season and they have continued that pattern through the opening part of this season (scored 8 goals in 12 games).

Granada may come out on top in this match but from a betting perspective and a statistical standpoint, it’s difficult to strongly fancy a side who have average less than 1 goal per game over a 50 game period.

What do you think will happen?
