A brief look at the La Liga 2 standings hint of an edge to SD Eibar when they go to Málaga. However; let's play the match before we hand out the points!

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

Both teams have had a decent time to rest since their last effort on the pitch. Let's trust this will be an active fixture!
