Malaga is one of the best local teams in the league, and in terms of squad we see them as superior compared to Ibiza, so we think the Andalusian team will be the winner of this match.
Malaga’s games have been low-scoring so far, but we think that against Ibiza, who now have a much more attacking style but are weaker in defence, this game could end with a 2-1 scoreline.
The arrival of Paco Jémez on the Ibiza bench has meant a much more attacking game for the Balearic club. That is why we see them capable of scoring in this match, as they have scored a total of eight goals in the last two games.
As we have mentioned before, Ibiza’s style is much more offensive and, at the same time, they are weaker defensively because of the risk of being so offensive, which we think may favour Malaga to take advantage of counterattacks to hurt them. We think it will be a game of many scoring chances for both, so there will be more than 2.5 goals total.
Despite being the fifth best home team, Malaga have gone three games without a win at La Rosaleda Stadium, with one draw and two defeats.
Malaga’s home games so far have been notable for being low-scoring games, with Malaga scoring 14 goals and conceding nine in 12 games, an average of 1.92 total goals per game.
Ibiza, meanwhile, with the arrival of Paco Jémez, have won 2-1 and 6-2 in his first two games as Ibiza coach. In other words, more than a quarter of the total goals scored so far by Ibiza (26) have been scored in the last two matchdays. An incredible statistic.
Ibiza have been a much better away team than at home so far, in fact they are the fourth best team in this respect. Their last five games have ended in three wins and two draws. Not bad.
Bookmakers assume that the match will have at least one goal, which is why the match will have more than 0.5 total goals at odds of 1.50 at William Hill.
A more risky bet could be, following on from what has been said previously, that it will be a game of many chances, that the match will be won by Malaga and that there will be three goals or more in the match, which has odds of 4.20 at William Hill.
If the match is in Malaga’s favour before the 75th minute, we think that Ibiza can go all out in attack and this can be taken advantage of by Malaga to score a goal between the 76th minute and the end of the match, including added time. This bet has a odds of 3.50 at William Hill.
We think that the first scorer of the match could be Brandon Thomas, who is Malaga’s top scorer so far, with five goals to his credit, and who also takes penalties on occasions.
Hicham Boussefiane, Luis Muñoz and Genaro Rodriguez are out for this game for Malaga.
