Malaga take on the visitors Zaragoza in the round 28 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Monday, February 20th at Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga).
Malaga dangle in the relegation zone of the country's 2nd division. The Anchovies are in recent years in a state of permanent decline after the peak of 10 years ago. Then the Spaniards, under the leadership of Manuel Pellegrini, reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, where they dramatically lost to Borussia Dortmund. But after 5 years there was already a flight to the Segunda, and in the last draw - a "borderline" 18th place there. Now Ruben Castro and company can only hope to repeat that result. They win very rarely (four times in the entire season) and are stuck in the relegation zone with 22 points after 27 rounds. In November-December, there seemed to be progress, but then everything worsened again, and in both last matches there were defeats – to Oviedo and to Albacete. Malaga are 8 points behind the saving place but their football suggests the team doesn’t believe in success.

Zaragoza looks already habitually mediocre. The Aragonese for a long time can only remember their many, but quite old successes. Now they are stuck the middle of the Segunda, for which the 10th place of the last draw was already quite a worthy result. It cannot be repeated yet, despite the very decent statistics of Giuliano Simeone, who scored half a dozen goals in this draw. It is curious that for the past 9 games Zaragoza has been alternating wins with draws and defeats (here, in the last rounds, the away 1-0 with Andorra was followed by the home 1-4 with Alaves). But, gaining not so few points in this way, so far they have climbed only to a modest 16th place.
All 3 last head-to-head fights ended strictly 1-1. So it was in November, on the field of Zaragoza. It is curious that Malaga, which plays at home, remains a definite favorite of the pair. But Zaragoza is obviously more alive now - we bet on her victory with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Zaragoza to win with 0.0 handicap.
