Malaga vs Huesca Predictions

• Only one of Malaga’s last seven fixtures has contained three or more goals
• There have been fewer than three goals in each of Huesca’s last three matches
• Malaga have played 16 home league games this season and there have been just 31 goals

Malaga on a poor run

A 1-0 defeat and 0-0 draw from Malaga’s last two games highlight their goalscoring problems, and they have in fact netted just 15 times in their 16 home league games.

Natxo González’s side are the lowest scoring team outside of the relegation zone and only five of their Segunda matches at Estadio La Rosaleda have contained three or more strikes.

They are also winless in seven home league matches, a run of form that is dragging them closer to the relegation zone, with just a seven point cushion separating them and 19th place.

Huesca to get a rare away win?

Huesca are narrowly above Malaga in the table, but they have a similar goal scoring problem, firing blanks in their two of their last three matches.

Xisco’s side have only won one of their last four, and none of their last four on the road, including a 1-0 defeat to bottom club Alcorcon in their most recent outing.

They have played 15 away Segunda fixtures that have provided just 39 strikes, an average of less than three per 90 minutes, while only one of their last five have contained three or more goals.

I predict there will be fewer than three strikes in this match, so that is my initial selection, and it is tough to separate the two sides, so I select a 1-1 draw as a correct score prediction.
