Gamingtips Prediction – Malaga 1:1 Osasuna
Malaga and Osasuna both have very good defensive records in the Spanish Primera (Malaga conceded 32 in 30, Osasuna conceded 35 in 30) – The key difference is the number of goals they score (Malaga scored 43 in 30, Osasuna scored 26 in 30). Malaga were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League during the week in spectacular fashion by Dortmund (Conceded two goals in injury time) and it’s difficult to know whether or not this result will affect them on the pitch this evening – Their exit of the Champions League, plus the travel from Germany to Spain gives Osasuna a chance if they are able to better their average of less than one goal per game. Odds of (10/11) about Malaga are good however it’s difficult to know how much their exit out of the Champions League will have on them.
