Burgos form and stats

The previous season, Burgos's league statistics were 15 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses, ending with 11th place in the La Liga 2. In these 42 matches they scored 41 goals and conceded 41. Appearing as the home team in the last season Burgos generated 10-7-4 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 12 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Burgos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Burgos as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Burgos has won 5 of these, drawn 6 and lost 1.

Burgos have prepared for this season with six friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these six matches are 3 victories, 2 draws and 1 losses. In these games, Burgos have scored 7 goals and conceded 4 times.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Málaga have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats from four fixtures.
