Insights:
  • Mirandés have the most conceded goals in the first half (22) in La Liga 2
  • Málaga have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Mirandés form and stats

Mirandés have played 12 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for Mirandés in their previous game, a fixture away at Alcorcón (placed 22nd) that ended with a 0-0 victory. Mirandés drew their last game, 0-0 away at Alcorcón (placed 22nd). No payout for Mirandés in their previous match, an away game at Alcorcón that ended in defeat 0-0. Goalkeeper Lizoain got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.41 out of ten. Lizoain topped it up with a clean sheet.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Lugo with a 1-2 scoreline. Before that, Mirandés played out a draw 1-2 when visiting Lugo. Heartbreak before that as Mirandés lost 1-2 at Lugo's place.

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

Mirandés have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Municipal de Anduva with 21 goals in 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Málaga so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-6 (win-draw-lose).

Málaga played 0-5 against UD Ibiza in their previous match. The manager Menéndez was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Estadio La Rosaleda. Málaga suffered a 0-5 loss to UD Ibiza (placed 8th). Málaga are travelling after their nice 0-5 home win in the match against UD Ibiza (placed 8th). Enríquez got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, top player of the team. Enríquez hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 39 successful passes (of 47 total).
