If Barcelona have not failed yet in this season’s LaLiga, then Malaga have not succeeded in it so far. The club picked up just one point with 4-18 goal difference in eight matches, having stuck on the bottom of the LaLiga standings. “Boquerones” lost all four battles at away grounds with 0:9 aggregated score. Moreover, Malaga’s streak without scored goals has reached 186 minutes of football already. It should be mentioned that “Boquerones” scored goals only in two out of eight games on the road in this season.
It is quite amazing, but in previous season Malaga managed to earn four points in their head-to-heads against Barcelona after 0:0 and 2:0 scorelines. And now it is time for Lionel Messi and his teammates to take revenge for those failures as the hosts have taken the pace while the visiting side lost to everyone in this season.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -3.0 Asian handicap.
