Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
There will be fireworks when Malaga and Granada lock horns at Estadio La Rosaleda on Saturday evening. Los Boquerones aim to build on back-to-back wins over Real Sociedad B and Las Palmas and they must be high on confidence ahead of the Andalusian derby. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Sergio Pellicer is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated La Union Deportiva 1-0 at the weekend.
Los Granadinos, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season and given their three-game losing run in the Spanish second tier, there is a big value in betting on Malaga. In their last meeting at “La Rosaleda” Malaga defeated Granada 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. To make things even worse for the visiting team, defender Pere Haro misses the local derby through suspension following his sending-off in a 2-1 loss to Mirandes.
