An Andalusian derby under the lights promises intensity as Cordoba host Malaga in a clash between two in-form sides. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-2 draw. Los Califas head into the match after three straight league wins and boast a strong defensive record at home, conceding just 1.00 goal per game and keeping 60% clean sheets at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel. Juan Alcedo remains doubtful after picking up a knock in the 2-1 victory over Huesca, but the side’s overall form — 1.40 points per game at home — suggests they’re capable of coping.
Los Boquerones, on the other hand, head into the local derby with momentum of their own, having won four of their last five league matches and scoring consistently, with their games averaging 3.10 goals overall. Despite multiple injuries — Brasanac, Enriquez, Garcia, Luismi, Pastor and Sanchez all sidelined — they showed no signs of weakening in a recent 2-1 win over Ceuta. Defensive issues persist, however: Málaga have 0% clean sheets this season and a huge 90% BTTS rate overall.
As Malaga are at 90% BTTS and Cordoba strong offensively at home, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Segunda Division match will be played on Sunday 18 January 2026 at 20:00.
