Malaga hosts Huesca in round 33 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, March 27th at Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga)
The example of Malaga shows that investors from the Middle East are not always a boon for those football projects that they buy out. After the appearance of Al Thani, there was a sharp rise. A dozen years ago, the Qatari owner bought several well-known players and invited Manuel Pellegrini to the coaching post. As a result, the Anchovies took fourth place in the LaLiga standings. Beyond that, they reached the Champions League quarterfinals, where they lost to Borussia Dortmund with a scandal. But soon everything began to deteriorate sharply, and Malaga went to the Segunda. Then the club even had to introduce a temporary administration. And so far, all the problems of Al Thani and his management have not been resolved. Now the maximum that Malaga can show is not to move to the 3rd division of the country. So far, the Anchovies have a good gap from the relegation zone, outranking Real Sociedad B by six points. But it's too early to relax.

Last season Huesca again had a go in the top division. As in the previous attempt, the Blue-Garnets immediately returned to the Segunda. But there were chances to stay, as they finished in 18th position and lagged only two points behind Elche. There were hopes that Huesca would become successful at a simpler level and would return to La Liga from the very outset. But now the team is seriously disappointing its fans. By and large, it is already clear that the Blue-Garnets need to think about how to play in the next championship. This one turned out to be unsuccessful. Huesca is in the lower part of the standings. After a 1-0 victory over Burgos on March 18, it has 41 points and takes 15th place. The Blue-Garnets may rejoice at one thing: they have a good gap from the relegation zone, and there are no fears of losing a place in the Segunda.
In the 2019/2020 season, when the clubs first crossed paths, Huesca won both head-to-head matches. Last October, these teams shared points on the pitch of the Blue-Garnets. Now bookmakers tend to consider Malaga as the favorite. But both clubs are not in the best shape, so we recommend betting on low production.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
