Málaga vs Espanyol prediction

THE FORECAST

Malaga sit bottom of La Liga with a dire attacking record of just 0.4 goals per game and a massive injury list stripping the squad of 13 players, making them severely weakened at home. Espanyol are the more stable side with better form, superior goal difference and a healthier squad despite their own absentees. Comfortable weather conditions suit a straightforward away win for Espanyol, who average 1.4 goals per game against Malaga's leaky 1.7 conceded per match.
