Malaga – Levante

Malaga Levante betting previewMalaga and Levante are both safe from relegation, but they will want to finish the season on a high. Considering the current form however, the hosts will need to step up if they are to give the fans a proper goodbye in the last round of the La Liga.

It`s been a tough season for Malaga after the marvelous campaign last year. Losing funding, Malaga struggled in the bottom half of the table for the whole season and barely avoided relegation a few rounds ago. The hosts have played very poor lately, gaining just 1 point and scoring just 1 goal in the last three games, but it all happened last round in a surprising 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid. The hosts will look to build on that performance today.

Levante had a great La Liga season by their standards, they had no worries whatsoever with relegation and their current 9th place is pretty much where they sat all season. The visitors are on the back of two consecutive impressive victories against Atletico Madrid and Valencia (2-0 each time) and have not lost in 4 rounds, so they will enter this game full of confidence, hoping to overtake Celta Vigo for a fantastic 8th place at the end of the season.

Team news & lineups

Malaga will miss Tissone and Angeleri, while Sanchez is doubtful. The visitors won`t be able to count on Simao and Lopez, with Diawara and Rodas both being game time decisions.

Malaga: Caballero – Eliseu, Weligton, Ferreira, Antunes – Camacho, Darder – Samuel, Perez, Amrabat – Santa Cruz

Levante: Navas – Nagore, Vyntra, Navarro, Juanfran – Diop, Sissoko – Zhar, Victor, Ivanschitz – Barral

One-two months ago Levante seemed a little bored with their mid-table placement and lost some rhythm, but lately they recovered in style and with their current form you have to give them credit against a Malaga side that is largely unimpressive at the moment. Levante has been the better team all season and they are in much better form at the moment, so even if they play away they should be able to get something from this game. A draw would satisfy both sides but I don`t rule out an away win if Levante keeps up the level from the last couple of rounds. Double chance on the visitors seems almost a lock in my opinion, so my tip here is Levante +0,5 handicap. The odds are excellent. The under 2,5 goals bet also looks good, but the odds on the handicap are much better. Prediction: Malaga – Levante 0-1.

Pick: Levante (+0,5 handicap)
Odds: 2.05 @ Sbobet
Stake: 8
Possible profit: 8.40
Event date: 16 May
