Espanyol vs Malaga Prediction & Betting tips
The rhythm of Espanyol and the desire to certify the promotion, should drive him to add a new victory also at home. My forecast is that Espanyol will win this match. Other alternative bets can be found in that Malaga will not score a goal. It is paid at 1.67 and although the Andalusian team is scoring in 72% of matches, Espanyol in their stadium has only conceded goals in 1 out of 3 matches.
Espanyol:
Espanyol is on the verge of a mathematical promotion to the Santander League, with 12 points more than the 3rd classified and a streak of extraordinary results that seems to be getting better. The previous day they thrashed UD Las Palmas 4-0 with goals from Embarba and a hat trick from Puado.
Fernando Calero is sanctioned and David Lopez is doubtful that he will be available. Regarding the illusion that is being nurtured in the environment of the club, the coach Vicente Moreno has asked these days for prudence and humility, as values that have led the team to be in the position in which it is.
Malaga:
Malaga points out that it will be one of those teams that will not get nervous in the final stretch of the season. Although they have options to enter the playoffs, these are very remote and more so after the defeat of the previous day by 0-1 at La Rosaleda against Fuenlabrada.
To visit Espanyol, the team arrives at a low level, with Benkhemassa injured, Luis Mejias and Jozabeb almost totally ruled out and with the doubt of Caye Quintana that he evolves somewhat better. To make matters worse, players like Escassi and Joaquín are going through a bad time physically, which will force the Malaguista coach to turn to players from the reserve team. In his favor, Malaga is the 4th best visitor in the category, and has not lost in their last 4 outings.
