Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio La Rosaleda will host Monday’s Andalusian derby between Malaga and Zaragoza, the two bottom-table sides. Los Boquerones aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Real Oviedo and Albacete, and seeing that they are eight points behind the safe zone, this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Luis Zuniga serves a one-game ban, with Genaro Rodriguez likely to step up, while EScassi Olivia missing out with a muscle problem. Esteban Burgos is banned for the match as well.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, aim to recover from a massive 4-1 loss to Alaves, but seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are going to bet on los Albicelestes this time out. Victor Mollejo remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, while fellow forward Ivan Azon faces race against the clock to be fit for Monday’s clash.
