Malaga take on the visitors Burgos in the round 41 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Saturday, May 31st at Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga).
Málaga had been on a long and steady decline. The glory days of Middle Eastern investment and a dream run to the Champions League quarter-finals now feel like a distant memory. Burdened by sporting and financial struggles, the club slipped all the way down to Spain’s third tier. Even there, they only finished third in their group. Fortunately, they managed to win the promotion playoffs. Upon returning to the Segunda División, they’ve performed decently — securing over 50 points and maintaining a balance between wins and losses. Since late April, they’ve mostly been winning. However, their recent match against Elche ended in a 0-2 defeat.

Burgos secured their objective ahead of time. The Blanquinegros were re-formed in their current structure in the mid-1980s, and until recently had only one previous season in the Segunda — back in 2001/2002. They even spent time in the fourth tier before earning promotion again in 2021. Since then, they’ve finished 11th twice, and moved up to 9th last season. Under Luis Miguel Ramis, the team seemed poised to push even higher this year. However, they appeared content after ensuring their safety in the division with several games to spare. They beat Córdoba, but also suffered defeats against Mirandés, Elche, and more recently Eibar. Last round, they faced an ambitious Levante at home — despite scoring twice, they ended up losing 2-3.
These sides have met five times since 2021. Burgos won the first three, while the last two encounters ended in draws. With both teams having nothing left to play for, Málaga’s home advantage and Burgos’ spring slump suggest the Anchovies will finish on a high with a win.
Prediction for the match: Malaga to win.
