Fixture: Malaga
vs Sporting Gijon
Tournament: La Liga
Venue: La Rosaleda, Malaga
Date: Friday 4th November 2016
Kick-off: 19.45
Betting Preview
Both Malaga and Sporting are currently having disappointing seasons and ones they'll be wanting to change starting this weekend. The home side are currently in 11th place, just three points above the relegation zone, while the visitors occupy the last relegation spot in 18th place, with just two wins this season.
The home and away form suggests that Malaga have this one in the bag. Malaga have won 60% of their games at La Rosaleda, including three consecutive wins in their last three games. Away from home however, Sporting are winless in five, drawing twice and scoring just two goals.
Match Prediction
If you're someone who likes a historical fact, Sporting Gijon haven't won at Malaga in their existence visiting them eight times and have lost their last two games at Malaga 1-0.
Whilst Abelardo's side side come into the game having taken a point against Sevilla, Malaga were 4-2 losers against Atletico Madrid having beaten Leganes 4-0 the previous week.
We feel that Malaga are the favourites going into this one, and that is reflected in the odds. With Malaga scoring an average of 1.8 goals at home this season, we're also going to explore that market.
