• Competition: LaLiga2
• Date: 20.09.2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (Granada)

A duel between two clubs that were not members of this level of competition last season. Granada was a participant in LaLiga, but it is one of the teams that quickly qualified for a return to the lower ranks. The defeat in the last round 7-0 against Girona clearly depicts the situation of the previous season. Granada did not have the power to consistently compete with the best teams in Spain. Not much was done in terms of reinforcements, so LaLiga 2 also got off to a slow start. Granada won only once in 5 matches played

Malaga earned promotion from Primera RFEF and they will try to maybe take another big step. For now, everything is in excellent order and Malaga is one of the few undefeated teams with 2 wins and 3 draws. In the last round, they beat Huesca 1-0, and what is obvious is that their defense is getting better. In the previous two matches, they achieved a clean sheet both times and travel to Granada with great confidence

Granada vs Malaga pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Granada must play much more cautiously than in previous matches. They need a victory in this match in order to catch at least a little connection with the top. Malaga played two away games this season and both times ended in a draw. This is a solid team that has a clear concept. There is advantage of them, but Granada has the home field and the agility of the players. We expect a very even match, and according to tradition, in 7 of the last 8 direct duels, no more than 2 goals have been seen. Under 2.5 goals seems like an excellent choice.
