Malaga take on the visitors Ponferradina in the round 17 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Saturday, November 26th at Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga).
Malaga are still in last place in the table. The Anchovies have gone from the new Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League to the introduction of an interim administration due to financial problems in 10 years. Last season, it still managed to score enough points to take the “saving” 18th place. Now for a long time the team looked just hopeless. But towards the end of autumn, Pepe Mel’s wards, with the unfading Ruben Castro at the forefront, were able to go further in the cup, and at least record draws with Sporting Gijon and Zaragoza, playing 1-1 with both.

Ponferradina also slipped into a struggle for survival. Los "Blanquiazules" can not boast of something serious. But in the previous 2 draws in a row, they were able to first gain a foothold in the top half of the table, in 8th place, and then repeat this result. But this pace is very difficult for the team. They have won only four times so far and is teetering on the brink of the relegation zone. This despite the fact that the club started with 2 victories in August, with Cartagena and Ibiza. But in the following 14 fights, it turned out to collect only 11 points, which, of course, led to an increasing drop in the table. They also lost in the cup to Guadalajara, but now it’s clearly not up to spending energy on the Copa del Rey.
There were 8 head-to-head meetings in total, 6 of them in the interval from 2019. Malaga won only once, with 3 defeats. Last season, Ponferradina won big at home and it was a goalless draw at La Rosaleda. Malaga are seen as the pair's favorite. But it doesn’t shine either, so the bet on “less than 2.5 goals” will obviously be more passable.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
