Málaga form and stats

This stadium, Estadio La Rosaleda, has been a fortress for Málaga in the La Liga 2 so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-2-0. Málaga has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio La Rosaleda. We remember; it was Real Zaragoza.

It's back home for Málaga, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Pena Sport away with the result 3-0. Lombán, Roberto Fernández and Paulino found the net in that victory.

A La Liga 2 defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Burgos.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Málaga have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost zero.

The Málaga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Defensively Málaga have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 9 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Amorebieta form and stats

Amorebieta have only collected 4 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 0-4-5 (9 played).

Amorebieta play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Europa.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Real Zaragoza in the La Liga 2.

Amorebieta are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Amorebieta as they have only managed to score 5 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Amorebieta have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
