Malaga vs Mirandes Betting Tips

Mirandes are a club with a real eye for a giant killing. They may never have made the Spanish top flight but they have frequently knocked La Liga clubs out of this competition. Just 4 seasons ago, as a 3rd tier side they incredibly made it all the way to the Semi Finals with Villarreal and Espanyol among their victims.

They take a 2-1 lead into this game having beaten Malaga in the 1st leg thanks to goals from Alex Garcia and Junior Lago and this tie is perhaps now the most finely poised of all the 16 4th Round matches.

They are only 11th in the Segunda Division as it stands and will be aware that playing Malaga in Malaga will be a much tougher prospect. The Andalucians finally broke their away hoodoo at the weekend, by scoring their first goals on the road in La Liga this season with a 2-1 win at Rayo Vallecano to move out of the drop-zone.

Malaga are unbeaten in 3 league matches now and look to have turned a bit of a corner. They are likely to make changes here but will be keen to keep the momentum going and also keen to stay in the Copa del Rey. With home advantage they should have too much for Mirandes and are decent value for the win at 7/10.

While romantics will be seeking another Mirandes cup miracle, the reality is more likely to be that top flight quality shines through here and at 6/1 you can back Malaga to win 2-0 on the night and advance on aggregate.
