Odds: Malaga (8/15) Draw (3/1) Osasuna (5/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Malaga 2:0 Osasuna

Malaga finished 6th in the Spanish Primera last season where they scored 53 goals in 38 games and conceded 50.

Osasuna finished 16th, just 3 points above the relegation zone and with 10 wins to their name.

They scored 33 goals in 38 matches and conceded 50.

Osasuna’s main problem last season was their lack of goal scoring – they have continued that this season scoring just 5 goals in their opening 7 games and if they are to get anything against Malaga, they will need to show rapid improvement in the final third.

Malaga had the best defensive record in the Spanish Primera for much of last season and they should be able to overcome a side who has won just 1 of their last 7 and scores less than one goal per game on average.

What do you think will happen?
