Huesca vs Malaga prediction 14.04.2025 | La Liga 2

• Competition: La Liga 2
• Date: Monday, 14th April, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio El Alcoraz (Huesca)

Since getting relegated From La Liga in the 2020/21 season, Huesca struggled, finishing 13th and 17th place in the following three seasons. This year, they looked pretty good, and it seemed that the promotion was a real possibility. However, after losing four of the last five games, they complicated their lives and are now in 6th place with 54 points - only one point from dropping out of the playoff spots. While their remaining schedule isn't too challenging, they have to stop the bleeding and win some points urgently. A game against struggling Malaga looks like a great opportunity to change the momentum.

Malaga, a stable La Liga team not long ago, had a rough few years behind them. The Andalusian team even suffered relegation to the third tier but managed to return last year. This season, they are once again struggling in La Liga 2 as they are in 16th place with 42 pints from 34 rounds - just three points away from the relegation zone. Just like their next opponent, Huesca, Malaga are in terrible form, losing four of the last five games. So, even though there are eight rounds left, we are not too confident in their survival this year.

Huesca vs Malaga pick: Under 2.5 goals

Huesca are in terrible form, losing four of the last five games while scoring six goals - 1.2 per game. That is slightly under their season average of 1.38 per game. If we look further back, we can see they scored one or zero goals in 13 out of the last 17 matches - 76.5%. So, scoring over one goal is definitely an issue for this team.

Malaga are one of the best teams in the league for this type of bet, as 62% of their games ended with fewer than three goals. Only Racing Ferrol, Eibar, and Burgos had fewer games with fewer than three goals in La Liga 2.

In the previous h2h game this season, Malaga won 1:0. Moreover, the last five h2h games ended with fewer than three goals, with an average of only 0.8 goals per game. Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this La Liga 2 tie.
