Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Leganes and Malaga go head to head in the suburbs of Madrid in what is expected to be a very entertaining game. Leganes are determined to book their place in the La Liga 2 playoffs, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at los Boquerones. Even though attacker Borja Baston has been struggling with injury in the season finale, home win should be considered as the hosts want this win more than the visitors.
Malaga, on the other hand, missed out on a place in the playoffs, and given their poor run of results, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. It has to be noted that Malaga defender Josua Mejias misses the match through suspension. In each of their previous three meetings in all competitions the capital club defeated los Boquerones, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
