Malaga CF
- Malaga CF and Burgos CF are in sixth and seventh place respectively, with 35 points from 22 games.
- Juan Funes has overseen a dramatic change in Malaga’s fortunes since his appointment as head coach in November 2025.
- He has got the players to play in a very youthful, high-intensity fashion, winning most of the possession and creating the bulk of the chances.
- Malaga have a solid home record with six wins, four draws and one loss this season.
- They have scored 1.91 and conceded 1.09 goals per game at La Rosaleda.
Burgos CF
- They will have to be extremely compact and disciplined to frustrate Malaga in this game, but we’re sure Luis Ramis will have them well organised and ready to take their chances from set pieces or in transition.
- Burgos have won five, drawn one and lost four of their 10 away games in the second-tier, scoring 1.40 and conceding 1.20.
- Malaga are 2.12 favorites, Burgos are 3.8 with a draw at 2.96.
Head-to-Head
- Burgos CF have the advantage in this fixture after one win and three draws from the sides’ last four meetings in LaLiga 2.
- Recent form (selected):
- Burgos are W2, D1, L2 in their last five matches.
Key Players
- Chupe has been instrumental in Malaga’s recent rise, providing the midfield drive for Funes’ possession-based style to work.
- He also happens to be Malaga’s top scorer in the competition with nine goals from 19 appearances, including four of their last eight.
- David Gonzalez leads Burgos’ scoring with five goals from 21 league games.
Betting Insights
- Malaga are 2.12 to win, Burgos 3.8, with the draw at 2.96.
- There’s little doubt that this will be a low-scoring game, so we’re taking the under 2.5 market at 1.48.
Prediction
We would have to go with Malaga in their current form and at home, but will take the draw option for small stakes because Burgos are a solid side and it should be a close game.
