Osasuna-Malaga betting preview

Osasuna-Malaga betting preview

Osasuna host Malaga in a low-profile Monday kick-off in the La Liga. Both the teams are struggling to get out of the lower half of the league table, with Malaga finding itself perilously close to the relegation zone. Both the teams will fear failure. They will strive to get at least some point out of this match – if not three points, then at least a single point.

 

Osasuna are at a comfortable-looking 13th position in the league, while Malaga are at the 16th spot. Only a deficit of three points separates the teams. That means a Malaga win would make things even.

 

The Osasuna fans will count two things in their favour. First is the decent home record of their team. The team has won three of the last four home matches, including the one against Aletico Madrid. Second is the poor away record of their opponents. Malaga have won only one away game all through the season.

 

Their H2H record reveals an interesting piece of information. Seven of the last 11 games between these teams have been draws. A draw looms large over this match too. With five defeats, three draws and just a single win in 2014, Malaga would be more than happy to settle for a draw.

 

Oriol Riera Magem, who has scored nine goals in the La Liga, is Osasuna’s trump card. Emiliano Armenteros and Roberto Torres have been his efficient lieutenants. Malaga would expect Roque Santa Cruz amd Duda to rediscover their touch.
