Numancia take on the visitors Malaga at “Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos” in the first-leg match of the 1/16 final stage of the Copa del Rey. The game will be played in Soria on Tuesday, October 24th.
After a suitable start of the season in the LaLiga2, Numancia began to slow down, having got only one single victory in four latest clashes. The side lost its recent fight against Granada CF with 1:3 scoreline in front of its supporters.

Malaga have gained only one draw in this season with other seven matches lost. “Boquerones” have huge difficulties in defense while the team’s offense scores too little. Malaga are the outsider of the LaLiga and the main contender for relegation from the Spanish elite division. The side will enter the Copa del Rey in the forthcoming battle. As for side’s performance on the road, Malaga have lost all four away games with 0:9 aggregated score.
Last time Numancia and Malaga met in 2009. It should be noted that the club from Soria has succeeded in four out of five recent head-to-heads. I don’t believe the rivals will score much in the forthcoming clash as it is not clear if the team’s thoughts are now with the competition in question.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
