Lugo are welcoming Málaga for another important game after their 0-1 result against 10th-placed Las Palmas.

It's no vacation for neither Lugo nor Málaga as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

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

Lugo form and stats

5-6-6 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga 2 numbers at home for Lugo, who have the most conceded goals (27) at home in La Liga 2, so far this season.

Lugo lost their last game at Las Palmas (placed 10th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Real Zaragoza that was lost 1-3.

The penalty miss from Cristian Herrera in the defeat against Las Palmas was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Lugo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 17 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lugo defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Málaga form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Málaga so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 3-8-6 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Málaga has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Málaga's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Extremadura UD that finished 1-1. A 0-0 draw at Tenerife's stadium before that.

The attacking power of Málaga when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 17 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Málaga as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
