Prediction: 1-0
Malaga
Sporting Gijon will look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss at Eibar when they take on Malaga at their Estadio El Molinon. Los Rojiblancos aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, and the bookies see them as favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Despite failing to find the net in the defeat to los Armeros, Serbia-born attacker Uros Djurdjevic should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
Los Boquerones, on the other hand, have been struggling on the travels of late, with the team conceding eight goals in total in the previous three away games. Malaga obviously struggle at the back when playing away from home, and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the Andalusian outfit, talented midfielder Haitam Abaida is banned for the match following his sending off in the heavy 4-0 loss at Ponferradina.
