Season ticket holders at Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Sabadell languishing in the 21st position so far. The guesting Málaga will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a La Liga 2 match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Almería, was also a home game here at Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta. The away team is better rested.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Málaga, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.
Sabadell form and stats
The story so far in the La Liga 2 for Sabadell, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in La Liga 2, at their home stadium (Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
The Sabadell crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Almería here at Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta in a La Liga 2 match. A strong away win before that one, visiting Ponferradina and winning 3-0.
The defeat against Almería was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by L. Ramazani). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Stoichkov for missing a penalty kick versus Almería in the 66th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sabadell perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sabadell as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Sabadell has won five of these, drawn five and lost two.
Sabadell has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. Sabadell have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Málaga form and stats
The visitors, who have the the worst goal difference (-7) in La Liga 2, are W2-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2.
Home advantage was not enough for Málaga in their previous game, as they lost their La Liga 2-match, hosting Espanyol, 0-3. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Mallorca's place.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Málaga in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Málaga, eight draws and five defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Málaga as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. For Málaga, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
