It's early days in the La Liga 2 and both Málaga and Las Palmas are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams have little in common geographically as Las Palmas have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Málaga form and stats
Málaga have only played one La Liga 2 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 9 draws and 4 defeats from 21 matches.
The fans are hoping that Málaga will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the La Liga 2 game against Rayo Vallecano (placed 5th). Before that, Málaga had a home game versus Alcorcón which ended with a victory 1-0.
As you see from the result above, Málaga suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Málaga at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Las Palmas form and stats
The La Liga 2 season is young and Las Palmas have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Impressive finishing from Roberto Gonzalez Bayon and Sergio Araujo secured the home win 2-1 against UD Logroñés in their previous game. A 2-2 draw at Real Zaragoza's stadium before that.
Sergio Araujo came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against UD Logroñés last time out, making the manager J. Mel Pérez feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against UD Logroñés, was very satisfying as Sergio Araujo scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Las Palmas have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Málaga two wins, three draws and Las Palmas five victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
