Barcelona vs Malaga Prediction & Betting tips
An interesting match in this day of Saturday is the one that will dispute Barcelona vs Malaga for a new date of the Santander League.
Barcelona :
In my opinion, the painting culé part as a favorite because of the collective potential and offensive that has, which increases when acting at the Nou Camp. For this reason and knowing that the Andalusians are not solid in defense despite their combative style, we advise you to play a few euros to the simple victory of those led by Ernesto Valverde. At stake is keeping the top of the championship unbeaten.
It takes into account that Barcelona comes to overcome 3-1 to Olympiakos like local by the Champions, arriving to add 3 consecutive victories in this competition. In these days, has 22 points in the Spanish tournament, remaining unbeaten product of 7 consecutive wins and an equality against Barcelona (1-1 after getting parity over the final). She is still a tanned and complicated to overcome despite being very dependent on Messi.
On the other hand do not forget that the table culé harvested good results in the Nou Camp after beating 2-0 to Betis, crush 5-0 to Espanyol in the Catalan derby, to beat 6-1 to Eibar and to overcome 3-0 to Las Palmas to doors closed. For the Champions also defeated Juventus 3-0 before hitting the Greeks.
Malaga :
Continuing with the analysis you must know that Málaga is beaten to this duel after losing 0-2 to Leganés in La Rosaleda, staying with 1 unit in total. The team does not raise its head, sinking in the bottom of the competition. It needs to cut the bad stretch, being likely to be stronger when losing this exit.
Already to finish we tell you that the Andalusians have obtained negative results as visitors, after losing 1-0 to Girona, drop 1-0 against Atletico Madrid, stumble 5-0 against Valencia and lose 2-0 against Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán . Apparently its main defect in this condition lies in its defensive fragility.
After everything said I play for a victory of the local box because of the following reasons: First because Barcelona is a collective and explosive team when it is proposed thanks to Messi and Luis Suarez. Therefore, the team is expected to manage the times and forward their lines in a constant manner. Secondly because the picture culé has added excellent results in the Nou Camp, being its objective to remain effective in the condition of local. Ideally, take advantage of the spaces usually left by your rival. And third, because Malaga, despite being a combative oncena in its actions, is still limited when marking when away from home. Given this reality and knowing that the Andalusians have lost all the starts they have played, we believe Valverde’s boys can win by two or three goals difference if they are fine with the chances they will have.
