Málaga have only collected 14 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 3-5-10 (18 played).

Málaga failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Eibar (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-3.

Brandon got a match rating of 7.31 in that game, top player of the team. Brandon scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Leganes.

Málaga's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 30 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
