This duo has had problems getting enough points so far, but three points in this important game would certainly help. Prepare for Real Sociedad II - Málaga!
- Real Sociedad II have the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in La Liga 2
- Málaga have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Málaga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
