Prediction published on 05/12/2022, 22:35  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Malaga’s season in the Segunda division hasn’t gone well so far, and they will be making another attempt at stabilizing it when they play host to Granada in their next game. The hosts go into this game placed 21st in the league table, with 14 points while the visitors, Granada are seventh on 28 points so far. Malaga are four points below the safety line as they look to close up this gap, they will be targeting an improvement on the run that has seen them win just once in the last five matches – 1-0 over Ponferradina. They also have just one clean sheet in their last five matches and this is an area of improvement. In attack, it may also be imperative that they improve things; Malaga haven’t scored more than a goal in their last five matches, while both teams have scored in three of their last five matches. In their last outing, Malaga fell 1-0 to Levante, leaving them with just two wins in the last 10 league matches and while they have a low scoring run, they haven’t also been conceding a lot. They’ve conceded more than a goal in two of their last 10 league matches, and scored more than a goal in one of the last 10. As a result, eight of their last 10 league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Granada on the other hand, have done much better ahead of this game. In their last five matches, they posted three wins and going into this game, they are two points only off the top six. A win here could put them in the promotion playoff positions and they have the run to give them the confidence they can achieve that, only that an improvement in their league form will be desirable. Granada have scored three or more goals in three of their last four matches, but failed to score in two of the five. With just one clean sheet across the last five matches, this is an area they will want to address. Granada have failed to score in three of their last five league games, and away from home, they have no win in eight league matches, six of them losses. They haven’t scored a goal in the last eight away league matches and to be able to achieve their targets, this has to change.
