Malaga vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
The interests are enormous in the Andalusian regional derby of Wednesday evening between Malaga and Seville in the Rosaleda. The home team has to win to keep her last glimmer of hope for life alive, while the visitors want to grab their last straw in the battle for Champions League qualification.
Malaga :
The first reluctant is almost as well known, because only a miracle can save the last minute in Malaga from relegation. Last weekend the Andalusians visited Athletic Bilbao again for the eighteenth time this season: 2-1. A leading role was reserved for striker Youssef En-Nesyri. The attacker started well by giving the visitors in San Mames the lead after a quarter of an hour. Fifteen minutes after the break, the Moroccan striker missed a penalty with a 2-1 score, and five minutes before the end, he was sent off with a red card. En-Nesyri apologized afterwards via social media to the Malaga supporters. Wing attacker Chory Castro was actually the right man for the penalty kick, but En-Nesyri wanted to be a savior of Malaga. Something too happy, because the frustrations of the miss will undoubtedly have played a role in his later red card.
Malaga should have actually caught a point against Athletic Bilbao and also had a week earlier at home against Valencia (1-2 loss) bad luck that it saw a goal rejected for unclear reasons. Chairman Abdullah Al-Thani could have his emotions and has sued the referee of the match against Athletic Bilbao because of “injustice and corruption.” A bit strange, because in my opinion referee Hernandez Hernandez did not make big mistakes in that game. So I have no idea what Al-Thani intends to achieve with this. Perhaps he can not control his frustrations anymore, now that his favorite toy threatens to descend to the Segunda Division. In the end, however, are players who fail weekly, it is simply a dire mess in the Rosaleda.
Sevilla:
Seville seems to be able to write Champions League football on its belly next season. The Andalusians suffered a rare home defeat against Atletico Madrid (2-5) last weekend, bringing the deficit to number four Valencia up to ten points and also Villarreal passing the redwaters in the rankings. “It was not a great evening for us,” coach Vincenzo Montella had also seen. ‘In the first half hour we played fine, but we forgot to reward ourselves. Then we get two counter-hits for the tea and we lose hope. That should absolutely not happen to us. ‘ The strong home defeat has thus arrived as a slap in the Sanchez Pizjuan.
The first half hour against Atletico Madrid showed great similarities with the Champions League game against Manchester United (0-0) a few days earlier. In both duels, Sevilla dictated the game, but did not manage to convert her dominance into goals. Against the Madrilenians, the red-wits in the final phase managed to score twice via Pablo Sarabia and Nolito, but those goals were only interesting for the statistics. With only 33 league goals in 25 rounds in La Liga, the Andalusians have great trouble with scoring during the whole season, while the defense with no less than forty goals is no longer as solid as before. And that while Montella has a fine selection on paper. The Italian player lets his team play good football at times, but the real decisiveness is still lacking.
