Leganes have been on a terrible run since the end of January, but Asier Garitano will be targeting this fixture as a big opportunity to get back on track in La Liga. They’ve had a couple of slumps so far this campaign, but they certainly have the quality at Butarque to pose a struggling Malaga side lots of problems.
Our Leganes vs Malaga predictions revolve around the hosts getting back to winning ways, which makes backing Los Pepineros to take all three points in a comfortable victory the way to go in our weekend La Liga tips.
Jose Gonzalez is yet to pick up a positive result as Malaga boss, with their players and fans alike appearing to get more and more disheartened with each week that passes. Los Boquerones are on the edge of the abyss and Leganes should be capable of giving them a push towards their league demise.
Leganes vs Malaga Prediction and Betting Advice
Although Leganes have been struggling of late, this weekend is a huge chance for them to get back on the right path. Generally, they have been strong at Butarque this season, with their form at home ensuring that they have stayed in a relatively secure position in the table for much of the campaign. Garitano has said that he expected some long slumps in form, due to the nature of the competition and his squad, but over a month since their last win is worrying.
Betway offer the best value on the home side to win without conceding a goal, which is as much down to a lack of faith in Malaga as it is support of Leganes. The hosts kept a clean sheet last time out versus Las Palmas and prior to their poor performances in 2018, they were extremely astute at the back. Malaga have scored in just two of their last five league away games.
Malaga are yet to win on the road in 2018, with their solitary victory against Real Sociedad at Anoeta being the only time that Los Boquerones have taken three points on their travels so far this season. The Andalusian club are looking to have a one-way ticket to the Spanish second division.
Our Leganes vs Malaga bets back this to be a narrow and competitive game, with Leganes struggling to take three points at home of late and Malaga struggling to come up with much offensive inspiration when asked on their travels. The fact that both of these teams are struggling for form should lead to a cagey start to this match and a fear of making any mistakes.
Sunbets offer the best value on there being less than three goals in this contest, which is backed up by the fact that the away side have only netted in four away games in La Liga this season. Despite recruiting a number of forward options in January, Leganes still shouldn’t be scared of them, with Garitano’s unit set to triumph in Madrid.
Our Leganes vs Malaga betting tips suggest that this will be a hard-fought game in which the hosts will get back on track after a difficult month or so. Los Pepineros need a confidence boost and three points will be exactly the way to recover after slumping in La Liga and being knocked out of the Copa del Rey.
