Malaga take on the visitors Granada in the round 19 match of Spanish LaLiga2.The match will be played on Thursday, December 8th at Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga).
Malaga are still in the relegation zone, but no longer looks doomed. The "Anchovies" under the current owner started new era extremely ambitious. Then, due to generous spendings, it turned out to assemble a powerful, stellar line-up, led by a talented mentor, Manuel Pellegrini. The Chilean brought his wards to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Now, after some decade, there is a real threat to find yourself in the 3rd division of the country. True, if the team spent most of the starting segment of this season at the very bottom of the table, then since the end of autumn it has begun to make noticeable progress. But a good unbeaten streak was interrupted by 0-1 defeat to in-form Levante.

Granada does not want to be stuck in the Segunda. "Nasrids" relatively recently already fell to this level. It was here that Diego Martinez Penas began to work with them - and after a couple of years the team was already in the playoffs of the Europa League. But then either the potential was exhausted, or they could not find an adequate successor to the successful coach. In any case, the club failed the past temporade, ending up out of the La Liga as a result. It is clear that now they are waiting for a struggle to win back positions - that is, to rise back to the "elite". But it turns out, to put it mildly, not everything: there are only 2 more wins than losses, 8 against 6. On the other hand, out of 3 last rounds, we managed to win 2, against Albacete (4-0) and even Alaves (3-1). True, in both cases, Granada played at home, and the voyage to Leganes led to a 0-1 defeat.
Granada won all 3 recent head-to-head matches - both in the frames of the LaLiga 2018/2019, and in January last year as part of the country's cup. Malaga will try to show that they have not lost the courage of November, but Granada also needs points. We bet on "total over 2.0 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
