Odds: Malaga (8/11) Draw (5/2) Osasuna (4/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Malaga 2:0 Osasuna
Although this is a Cup match, we can look at the Spanish Primera to get some idea of how these two teams have been performing. Malaga are currently 15th with 14 points – they have scored 17 goals in 15 games and conceded 22. Osasuna are 5 points behind in 16th position – they have scored just 11 goals in 15 and conceded 25. Osasuna finished just 3 points above the relegation zone in the Spanish Primera last season and had an average goals to game ratio of less than 1. From a betting perspective, it’s very difficult to side with Osasuna given their poor run of form and their lack of goal scoring power. Malaga finished 6th in the Spanish Primera last season and had the best defensive record in the league for much of the season. Malaga should have enough quality to come out on top in this tie however it is a cup match and anything can happen.
