Eibar – Malaga – If these rivals met a little more than a month ago, it would be a derby, however, Eibar found strength and good form, and they had a great set of seven first-leg matches without defeat, which was only interrupted last round, so they are now in the top of the table, while Malaga, after a short run of success, has fallen again in the crisis and now they have tied four defeats, which is why they are in the fallout zone. In the first part of the season, Eibar, as a guest, beat Malaga with 1: 0.

Eibar
Eibar is in a safe zone, or rather, this team now has the chance to even fight for European positions, although it does not mean much to them, and most importantly, they are far from the exit zone. Not so long ago they were very close, especially after a series of seven games without a win, and then they simply woke up and played great, followed by a series of seven first-ever defenseless matches, out of which six wins, and this led them to the top part of the table.
No placement broke the home defeat of Athletics in the last round, though the series was interrupted. And against the Athletics they played quite a good match and were defeated with a minimum of 1: 0. It is interesting that five of the games that they made for their benefit in the series were scored exactly one goal. They also made two winter boots, Diopa and Orellana, but for now they have no place in the starting lineup that returns Arbilla only.
Probable startup of Eibara: Dmitrović – Capa, Oliveira, Arbilla, J.Angel – Alejo, Jordan, Dani Garcia, Inui – Charles, S.Enrich

Malaga
Since the beginning of the season Malaga has major problems and at the bottom are the tables. Only in December of the month they played something better and there was hope to be able to get out of the drop zone, but then a new drop and they are now in a row of four defeats in which they have not scored a single goal, so coach Michel is dismissed. As they played, it was a miracle that they had not been left out of business, but the leading Malage men had the utmost patience. The new coach is Jose Manuel Gonzalez and the only goal is to survive.
On the eve of this circuit, they were the next on the table, with seven points less than the rescue zone, and it is clear how difficult a task is to expect them. It’s a little comforting to have four of the four defeats in the series, three with a score of 1: 0. They may have been in these duels and more, but they have scheduled an attack and they have to be repaired urgently. They brought Buena from Porta and he should be a starter, because Penaranda, Baston and Rolan have injury problems.

Our Prediction: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.65
