Malaga preview
Pepe Mel’s arrival as coach has not yielded the expected results and Málaga is sinking day by day in the standings. In their last game, they were defeated by Levante by a score of 1-0. The team is second to last with 14 points, and only Ibiza is below them, with 12 points.
The outlook is bleak for a club that was among the elite not so long ago, even reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the beginning of the previous decade.
Rubén Castro is the team’s top scorer with three goals, followed by Cristian Gutiérrez with two, which is too few for a team in desperate need of points.
Probable lineup (5-3-2): Rubén Yáñez, Juanfrán Moreno, Alberto Escassi, Esteban Burgos, Jonás Ramalho, Javier Jiménez, Aleix Febas, Alfred N’Diaye, Luis Muñoz, Rubén Castro, Fran Villalba.
Grenada Preview
All the doubts about Granada were suddenly silenced after the great victory at Los Cármenes in front of their fans against no less than the leader of La Liga 2, Alavés, whom they knocked down from that privilege. The 3-1 win not only put Granada back on track for a win, but also removed some doubts about their attacking power.
Veteran Jorge Molina (40 years old) found the net once again, while Uzugui and Meseguer Cavas contributed with the other two goals. It now faces a new horizon that is somewhat more encouraging thanks to the sensations found at home with its supporters, who will surely fill La Rosaleda in the most eagerly awaited derby of the year in that area.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Adrián López Garrote, Ricard Sánchez, Miguel Ángel Rubio, Ignasi Miquel, Carlos Neva, Óscar Melendo, Njegos Petrovic, Víctor Meseguer Cavas, Myrto Uzuni, Jorge Molina, José Callejón.
JefeBet Prediction
Malaga is coming off a bad run and Granada is in high spirits after having beaten the LaLiga 2 leaders. Their recent performances will enable them to beat the home team without any trouble.
