Malaga vs FC Cartagena Predictions

• There have been three or more goals in four of Malaga’s last six
• Eight of Cartagena’s last ten games have included three or more goals
• Malaga have conceded at least two in four of their last five home matches

Malaga heading for trouble

Malaga are now without a win in six competitive games, a result that sees them languishing narrowly above the relegation zone.

A large reason for their dreadful form is a worrying defensive record that has seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 league games, with seven of those matches featuring three or more goals.

Indeed, they have conceded 42 goals in the Segunda – only three teams have a worse record – of which twelve have come in their last five home fixtures.

Cartagena lacking consistency

FC Cartagena also have defensive issues, as they have conceded in six of their last seven matches, with six of those games including at least three goals.

They are on the cusp of the play-off positions, but their 28 Segunda outings have featured a whopping 75 goals, an average of nearly three per 90 minutes.

Luis Carrión’s side have only kept one clean sheet from their last 12 on the road, with half of those games including three or more goals.

Although it is never the case, this kind of fixture should guarantee goals. I predict there will be three or more in the match, but the two teams will cancel each other out in a 2-2 draw.
