Malaga take on the visitors Eibar at “La Rosaleda” in the starting matchday of the LaLiga of 2017/2018 season. The game will be played on Monday, August 21st.
Malaga finished last season sitting on the 11th place in the table with 46 points taken and 49-55 goal difference. This summer “Boquerones” have signed few not very well-known players while sold out a half of the last season squad’s leaders: Sandro Ramirez Castillo, Carlos Cameni, Guillermo Ochoa, Ignacio Camacho and Pablo Fornals have departed from the club. Malaga have failed the summer break, having lost eight out of nine friendly clashes which not good statistics at all.

Eibar occupied the 10th position in the LaLiga standings of 2016/2017 season, having earned 54 points with 56-51 goal difference. “Armaginak” have sold Florian Lejeune for 10 million EUR this summer, having signed, just like the hosts, a lot of new not very famous performers. Eibar recorded five and four defeats in nine summer encounters.
Both Malaga and Eibar are the teams of more or less the same level. This season they will probably battle for staying with the elite division while their game and roster are weaker than last year. The sides had bad summer – both in transfers made and playing results. I believe that the upcoming head-to-head of two moderate clubs may bring a bund of goals scored as a solid play in defense is not their strongest points.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
