Malaga will look to strengthen their playoff position after an emphatic 4-1 victory over Ceuta boosted confidence around the club. As Racing Santander have little to play for in Sunday's game, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Andalusians have been in solid form lately, losing just two of their last 10 matches while averaging an impressive 2.30 goals scored per game. Malaga have also been consistent defensively at home, conceding only 1.00 goal per match, and the returns of Carlos Dotor and Diego Murillo from suspension provide an important boost ahead of this clash.
Racing Santander travel to Andalusia with far less pressure after officially securing promotion to La Liga thanks to a dominant 4-1 win over Valladolid. While the visitors have little left to fight for, their recent attacking numbers remain excellent, averaging 2.30 goals scored and 4.20 total goals per game across their last 10 matches. However, injuries to Giorgi Guliashvili and Maguette Gueye could limit their attacking options, while defensive consistency away from home has been an issue with 2.00 goals conceded on average.
Given Malaga's greater motivation in the playoffs race, Home Win should be considered. Additionally, Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals markets boast big value (Malaga and Santander matches regularly produce high scoring outcomes).
This Segunda Division match will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at 17:30.
