The only team in La Liga that is still without a win is Málaga. It is also the team with the fewest goals scored, only three after the seven completed rounds. Against this backdrop, it seems that the last place in the standings is not so surprising. The return home now hopes to bring positives after losing its last home match 1:3 to Villarreal, and before that, it only managed draws at home against La Coruña and Levante.
Espanyol started the season not badly, having played some good matches. However, it is now 15th in the standings after not performing well in its last two matches. In those, it first lost 1:2 away to Rayo Vallecano, and then 1:3 at home to Elche, despite playing almost the entire match with one player more. One of its two victories was achieved away against Osasuna with a score of 2:0, hoping to take something from this visit as well.
Prediction: under 2.5 goals, DrawMálaga is clearly not doing well, struggling to score. Espanyol has also not been at its best in the last two rounds and shows inconsistencies. From what has been seen so far, I am leaning towards fewer goals in this match, where I also expect it to be difficult to determine a winner.
