Season ticket holders at Estadio Anxo Carro haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Lugo languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Málaga will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Málaga haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

Lugo have less rest than Málaga in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga 2 game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Las Palmas, so at least Lugo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Málaga when visiting Lugo as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Lugo form and stats

Lugo have collected 25 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 6-7-3. All in all it has been a very rough period for Lugo who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Tenerife, 70 days ago.

Lugo lost their last game at Las Palmas (placed 9th) after a 1-6 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Lugo lost 0-1 at home to Sabadell.

As you see from the result above, Lugo suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Lugo have scored 13 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
