Quick Facts
- Under 2.5 goals were scored in Malaga’s last seven league games
- Los Boquerones failed to score in three of their last four matches in La Liga
- Over 2.5 goals were scored in Levante’s last three league fixtures
- Los Levantinos suffered nine defeats in previous ten away matches in the league
- Duda scored the winner for Malaga in the reverse fixture (1-0)
Malaga vs Levante Prediction
Malaga aim to stop the run of five matches without a win and los Boquerones will certainly take Monday’s game against Levante very seriously. Los Levantinos, on the other hand, face a do-or-die situation against Malaga as they dropped a two-goal advantage in the draw against Athletic Bilbao, but beating Javi Gracia’s troops on the road is easier said than done. Rubi’s men struggle on the travels and considering that Malaga have been impressive at the back this season, there is every chance we will see a low-scoring affair at Estadio La Rosaleda.
Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.80 (4/5) @Unibet
