Prediction: 2-0
Ponferradina
After suffering elimination to Granada in the Copa del Rey at the weekend, Malaga will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Ponferradina at Estadio La Rosaleda on Matchday 22. Los Boquerones are eyeing their first league win since December 1, 2020, and, no doubt, they are going to fight tooth and nail against Ponferradina. Midfielder Alberto Escassi misses the match through suspension.
La Ponfe, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Bolo’s men are on a three-game losing run on the road in all competitions, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Malaga. In their last encounter at Estadio La Rosaleda Malaga defeated Ponferradina 1-0, with Antonin scoring the only goal of the match after just two minutes.
