🗞️ Team News: Málaga

We think that Los Boquerones will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 formation this time, handing starts to Alfonso Herrero, Carlos Puga, Diego Murillo, Einar Galilea, Rafita, David Larrubia, Izan Merino, Dani Lorenzo, Joaquin Munoz, Chupe and Carlos Dotor.

🗞️ Team News: Ceuta

We are inclined to think that Ceuta seem likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, starting Guillermo Vallejo, Anuar, Carlos Hernandez, Diego Gonzalez, Jose Matos, Jamelli, Youness Lachhab, Cristian Rodriguez, Aisar Ahmed, Kuki Zalazar and Kialy Abdoul Kone.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Ceuta would be disappointed if they were not to score against this Málaga lineup, however that realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Málaga by the conclusion of the game. Should be a good one.
