Málaga form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Málaga so far with only 18 points returning home. The records show 3-9-6 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for Málaga who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Málaga won their last game, 2-0 versus Girona played at home. A 0-0 draw at Lugo's stadium before that.

Málaga 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, one draw and two defeats. From a total of six matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Albacete in just three days.

Málaga are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 9 goals from 18 away games. It's not easy to score on Málaga as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
