Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Lugo and Girona when they take on relegation-threatened Malaga on Sunday. Los Insulares are on the cusp of securing their spot in the playoffs, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Samuel Shashoua remains in the recovery room, while Alex Munoz is a major doubt.
Los Boquerones, on the other hand, are only two points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the trip to the Canary Islands. Malaga do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Jozabed limped off with injury in a goalless draw with Real Oviedo, while both Victor Gomez and Luis Munoz are back from suspension for the visiting side.
