Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Malaga
Match Time & Date:
02/11/2020
03:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Espanyol
All eyes will be on Estadio La Rosaleda when Malaga and Espanyol, the two old rivals face each other in the Segunda Division derby. Malaga aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Mallorca, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail in Monday’s football match. Los Boquerones are eyeing their third home win of the season, but beating the league leaders is easier said than done.
Los Periquitos are on a quest to secure a quick return to La Liga, and they seem to be at the top of their game at the start of the season. Even though Chinese international Wu Lei has been struggling with injury, we predict that the Catalans are going to grab something from the match. Since Malaga are tough to beat in Andalusia, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw.
