Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Malaga and Zaragoza take on each other at Estadio La Rosaleda in what is expected to be an interesting La Liga 2 game. Los Boquerones continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team beating all Alcorcon, Girona, and Fuenlabrada in the previous three home games in the process. Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last give league fixtures.
Since both Malaga and Zaragoza have been impressive at the back of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Anyhow, Malaga are closer to picking up all three points from the match than Zaragoza as los Boquerones are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Summer signing Nano Mesa is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors despite struggling to open his goal-scoring account.
