Open game expected at Estadio La Rosaleda: Málaga vs Alcorcón preview

Málaga hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 49 points and a 15th position in the La Liga 2 table. Visiting Alcorcón holds 11th place with 54 pts.

Best bookmaker betting odds:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Málaga and Alcorcón.

Relegation threatens Málaga who should definitely be looking for some points here. Alcorcón are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Málaga form and stats

Málaga, who have the most clean sheets (17) in La Liga 2, have played 20 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-9-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Málaga faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sporting Gijón (1-2). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Deportivo La Coruña.

This is expected to be a close game, with Málaga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Málaga as a small favourite), we find ten games. Málaga has won one of these, drawn five and lost four.

The manager S. Pellicer García will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Almería in only three days.

Málaga has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 20 matches. Málaga are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio La Rosaleda in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 18 from 20 matches.

Alcorcón form and stats

As the visiting team in La Liga 2 matches, Alcorcón have produced an overall stat of 7-12-1 so far.

Alcorcón's last game was the home draw against Tenerife (0-0). A 1-2 defeat away at Huesca before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Alcorcón playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two Alcorcón wins, seven draws and two defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Girona in just three days.

Alcorcón have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 20 league away games 28 goals have been scored. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (19 so far).
