Malaga - Espanyol Predictions

Duel of needs in the lower part. It seemed that Michel had found the recipe for Málaga to play well again. But before the Christmas break, the Albiceleste team stumbled again. In addition, he did it twice, against Betis at home and visitor at Mendizorrotza, so his good run was cut short. Confidence in the coach starts to be low and only a victory would allow him to breathe a quiet one more week. Who will visit La Rosaleda will be a Espanyol that does not arrive in a better situation. Although the 'parakeets' managed to close the year with a victory of merit against Atlético, the Sanchez Flores team reached the match in fifteenth position and after adding a draw against Las Palmas and two defeats against Eibar and Girona. Our forecast, Málaga victory! Both teams have a goal-scoring average of less than 0.5 per game, a lack of goal that is reflected in the results. Málaga needs to improve in defense. In this campaign start, he has conceded 31 goals in 17 matches. Espanyol has not won the first game of the year since 2008 (three draws and six defeats in the last nine seasons). The 'parrots' have a cup match on Thursday against Levante.
