Málaga - Racing Santander: La Liga 2 cellar teams hungry for points and glory. Check out all the available data and information before the match!

Insights:
  • Racing Santander have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Racing Santander have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

This looks to be an engaging fixture with lots of action and energy as both sides are well rested since they last played a game. Let's start!

Málaga have collected 18 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 4-6-4. When Málaga hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Real Zaragoza, Ponferradina, UD Ibiza, Lugo, Mirandes, Real Oviedo and Málaga), they have won 3 of 4 matches!

Málaga lost their last game at Granada (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Midfield player Febas got a match rating of 7.02 in that game, the max score being 10. Febas dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 25 successful passes (of 28 total).

Before that, Málaga had a home game versus Real Zaragoza which ended with a victory 3-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Málaga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Málaga as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Málaga has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
