Malaga travel to the Iberostar Estadio in Palma on Sunday to face Mallorca in a game that could take Malaga into a Champions League qualification position in the Spanish Primera. Mallorca currently sit 19th in the Spanish Primera (relegation position) however a win will move them out of the relegation zone. Malaga are 7th and a win could take them 4th (Champions League Qualification position) depending on other results around Spain.
The two sides form reads:
Mallorca – L L W D W L L
Malaga – L D D L W L W
Malaga’s form is slightly deceptive on paper given the fact that they have played high flying Barcelona three times in their last seven matches. The most noticeable stat surrounding this match is the number of goals scored and conceded this season so far. Mallorca have scored just 20 goals in 20 matches and conceded 36. Malaga on the other hand have scored 30 goals and conceded just 17 in 20 games (best defensive record in the Spanish Primera).
Recent history sides slightly with Malaga (Mallorca 7 wins, Malaga 9 wins, 9 draws).
Current betting odds – Mallorca (19/10) Draw (23/10) Malaga (7/5)
Gamingtips Prediction – Mallorca 0:2 Malaga
Odds of 7/5 for Malaga are very generous given their current league position and their impressive defensive record. Malaga created multiple chances against Barcelona and in this game they will be able to commit more men forward and create better chances against lesser opposition. Mallorca have shown they can be hard to beat at times and their position of 19th in the Spanish Primera may seem a little harsh given the fact they have conceded a lot of late goals and have lost multiple games by the odd goal however Malaga look too strong on paper and they have a better overall squad of players.
This game gets underway at 20:00 GMT+0 (21:00 local time).
