Malaga vs Levante Preview

These two teams will consider this game a very important one to their season.

Malaga are in trouble this season with a relegation fight looming.

They have taken just 7 points from 13 games this season but will feel they can get all three points against this equally struggling Levante side.

Malaga have scored at least 1.5 goals per game at home this season and they will do well to keep that record as they are yet to get a single point away from home.

They gave Real Madrid a tough time in their 3-2 loss last time out and with the duo of Diego Rolan and Gonzalo Castro leading their attack, they will be out of for all three points here.

Levante’s loss to Atletico Madrid at home last time shows just how mistake prone they are.

Atleti ran out of that game as 0-5 winners but it was the dismal way that Levante played more than the brilliance of Atletico that saw that game end that way.

Among the promoted sides they look like the team which is not prepared for the top flight as they have conceded 1.54 goals per game this season.

Levante have lost five of their last six away games against Malaga.
