Malaga – Granada

Friday night football in Spain, as home team Malaga and Granada will square off in the 15th round of the Primera Division.

Malaga is in very good form right now, winning twice and drawing twice in the last 4 La Liga matches. Not only did they do the job at home as they usually do, but they got 2 excellent road draws against Barcelona and Valencia. Malaga’s home form is truly great right now, with 5 wins in a row, in which they scored a total of 15 goals. That should give them a lot of confidence coming into this game.

Granada is on the back of a huge 2-1 home win against Andalusian rivals FC Sevilla. It was the second win in a row after a 1-0 Copa Del Rey victory against Osasuna. Incredibly, these two victories were the only wins for Malaga in the entire season in all competions! The visitors continue to struggle in the red zone with just 8 points in 14 La Liga matches, but winning their first two matches of the season might be a starting point for them. It won`t be easy to back up those results on the road though, where Granada has 2 draws and 5 losses so far.

Team news & lineups:

Weligton, Kuzmanovic, Charles, Keko and Castro are out for Malaga, but Llorente and Juan Carlos return from suspension. Granada has a full squad available except for the doubtful Toral.

Malaga: Kameni – Rosales, Torres, Llorente, Juankar – Camacho, Fornals – Juanpi, Santos, Ontiveros – Ramirez

Granada: Ochoa – Foulquier, Saunier, Lomban, Silva – Pereira, Samper, Uche – Boga, Kravets, Carcela-Gonzalez

Fair play to Granada for their last two results, but the visitors are still one of the worst sides in La Liga and definitely not expected to maintain the winning streak. They will meet a team in even better form, which is also one of the best home teams in the division. The matchup between Malaga’s home form and Granada’s road form is not encouraging for the visitors.

The hosts do have some injuries, but that`s not exactly new for them and they completed the job so far despite missing players.

I think it`s fair to expect a team like Granada to suffer some hangover after a big win against Sevilla. Adding Granada’s road struggles, Malaga’s strength at home and the overall quality difference, I feel a bet on the hosts is a good investment.

My tip on this one is Malaga to win. They are very reliable at home and Granada doesn`t look like the team to break their winning streak. Prediction: Malaga – Granada 2-0.
