Malaga - Espanyol: betting tip (cf 1.88) and bets on the Spanish Championship match

Command Analysis

Current form
Malaga is experiencing huge playing difficulties after returning to the Spanish Primera and remains the only team that has not won a single victory this season. The club naturally occupies the last place in the standings, having three points to its credit. Before the international break, the Primera newcomer suffered defeats from Villarreal (1:3) and Getafe (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Cayuste, Moussa, Lobete Cienfuegos, Murillo, Ochoa remain in the infirmary. Salinhas will not play under the terms of the lease agreement.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last 11 home matches.
- The hosts lost the last three face-to-face matches with a score of 0:3.
Approximate composition: Herrero - Rafita, Recio, Gonzalez, Puga - Merino - Munoz, Lorenzo, Dotor, Larrubia - Chupe

Current form
Espanyol started the season well with a 3-0 victory over Levante in the first round, then they managed to impose a fight on Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. Then the level of the game dropped significantly, and as a result, the team ended up in 15th place. The Catalans are only two points ahead of the relegation zone. In the autumn, Manolo Gonzalez's team managed to win only in an away match with Osasuna (2:0). This was followed by defeats to Rayo Vallecano (1-2) and Elche (1-3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Quique Garcia will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- The visitors have scored in every match this season.
- The club has won only one of the last six matches.
Approximate composition: Dmitrovich - Hartman, Cabrera, Riedel, El Hilali - Gonzalez, Lozano-Zaragoza, Exposito, Hernandez - Fernandez Jean
Tip and bets
Both teams are in an unenviable position right now, but Espanyol clearly has more resources to fix the situation. The long pause made it possible to leave behind the last two defeats, in the eighth round the Catalans will enter the match with renewed vigor and will have a high chance of winning. The hosts have a very modest squad for the game, besides a lot of injured and unavailable players. We consider the parrots to be the favorites of the match.
Our betting tip is the Asian handicap (0) for Espanyol in 1.88
Bet on the total
Malaga have scored only three goals this season and are the least productive squad in the Primera. In most matches, the hosts try to play defensively, and for sure it will be the same this time. The visitors will probably score one or two goals, but they are unlikely to allow the opponent to distinguish himself.
Our betting tip is that at least one team will not score in 1.98
A bet on a player's goal
Fernandes Jean is the undisputed starting forward of Espanyol and justifies the trust. In seven matches this season, Roberto has already scored six goals and even received a call-up to the Spanish national team. At the same time, on October 6, the forward did not play and retained his strength for the championship match. It is very likely that the 24-year-old striker will be able to distinguish himself in a duel with Malaga.
Our betting tip is that Roberto Fernandez will score in 2.80
