Villarreal CF have a tough opponent to overcome, in order to continue their unbeaten run
Villarreal CF welcome Málaga CF for the 24th round of Spanish La Liga. The home side has been performing really well throughout the season and looks confident to manage a top 4 finish. Málaga CF on the other hand, won their last two games in the league and will surely enter this meeting in a good mood.
Villarreal CF won the last two encounters with Malaga and considering their flawless home performance this season, they are definitely the favorite to win this game. Villarreal CF even managed to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 home games. Furthermore, they have a good home record against Malaga in all competitions, so certainly the stats are in their favor.
What makes this game rather complicated is of course the fact that Malaga are a really tough opponent. Earlier, they managed an away draw against Real Madrid, and were unfortunate to lose by just 1 goal against Barcelona. Malaga even defeated the title contender Atlético Madrid, so it seems they are quite capable of dealing with big names in La Liga.
What's more, Malaga won 6 of their last 9 La Liga matches and are now just 5 points behind an European football spot. However, Málaga CF are experiencing quite some troubles in their away games this season, as they lost most of them. Looking at the stats it's clear it is hard for Malaga to score goals, while playing away and bearing in mind the yellow submarine's home record this season an away seems the least likely outcome of this match.
