Malaga vs Levante Betting Tips & Predictions

Malaga are just fading after an extremely bright middle part of the season. They’ve gone 5 matches without a win and are struggling to score goals again, something which has been a concern all season and they have the joint worst goalscoring record in the league along with Betis but do remain just inside the top half. On a brighter note just 2 defeats in 8 games indicates they are still a tough side to beat and if they can add some creativity and a striker to their ranks in the summer they could be really competitive next term.

Levante have had 8 days to reflect on a bad week that has put them on the brink of losing their top flight status after 6 seasons. A crushing 5-1 defeat at relegation rivals Granada left them in deep trouble rooted to the foot of the table, where they remain following a late collapse last Sunday that saw them concede twice in the last two minutes to throw away a 2-0 lead and 2 points at home to Athletic Bilbao. Realistically they need to win this to give themselves a fighting chance of staying up in the final two matches.

It’s very hard to see that happening though. Levante have been truly hopeless away from home this season and their 5-1 defeat at Granada last time out suggests that is unlikely to change. They’ve picked up a pitiful 1 point from their last 10 away games in the league and have only won once on the road all season. Malaga might not be playing their best football right now but they are a well-organised side, a quality lacking in the Levante camp and backing Malaga to win at 23/20 looks to offer value here.
