Cordoba
- Cordoba have won three of their last five games (D2, L0).
- Only goal difference separates Cordoba (9th) and Malaga CF (7th) after 21 matches of the LaLiga 2 2025/2026 campaign, meaning this Sunday’s Andalusian derby will be a close game with a lot riding on the outcome.
- Cordoba’s home record in the league this season stands at W4, D3, L3 with 1.30 goals scored per game and 1.20 conceded.
- Ivan Ania’s men are very well organised and tactically flexible, playing with plenty of intensity and pressing high up the field.
- The Cordoba players execute the system brilliantly, transitioning quickly from defence to attack and getting lots of numbers in the half-spaces.
Malaga CF
- Malaga CF have won four of their last five LaLiga 2 matches (D1, L0).
- The visitors have won their last two away games, but struggled to collect results on the road before that, winning just three and losing six from their previous 10 away matches.
- Malaga have conceded 14 goals on their travels in this league and have a poor record of no wins in their last 2 trips to Cordoba.
- Malaga are just as well organised as their hosts under Juan Funes, who has made defensive solidity and the integration of youth a priority since taking over mid-season.
- Malaga are very compact, counter-attacking at speed from deep when they have to, and very disciplined in their play on the ball.

Betting Insights
- Cordoba are the favourites at 1.84, Malaga CF are 4.2 and the draw is 3.5, however we feel the odds for a close match should be shorter than that.
- However, given the relative defensive solidity of the two sides and their good form, the Under 2.5 goals option at 1.9 could be more alluring for risk-averse bettors that feel Sunday’s derby may be close.
Prediction
Cordoba are the home team and have better form so they should edge the win, as the odds suggest.
