- Competition: Segunda Division
- Date: 31st May 2025
- Kick-off: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CEST
- Venue: La Rosaleda
Two sides separated by just two points and with nothing to play for heading into the final day of the Spanish second division campaign meet on Saturday, when Málaga welcome Burgos to La Rosaleda.
Malaga had the chance to end their run of six away games without a win when they visited Elche last weekend. Los Boquerones were disappointing on the road once again, suffering defeat and they also failed to score for the second successive away game. However, things have been different at this ground, where Sergio Pellicer's men have won each of their last three matches.
Meanwhile, Burgos suffered a second straight defeat against Levante at home last Sunday. Things got off to a great start for Luis Miguel Ramis’s men as they took the lead after just one minute. They ended up losing 3:2, and also lost Sancris in stoppage time to a red card. Given their poor away record — without a win in their last four games — it would be a surprise if they beat Málaga this weekend.
Malaga vs Burgos CF Betting Tips: Home & under 2.5 goals
Historically, meetings between Málaga and Burgos have tended to be close affairs. The last meeting, in December of last year, ended in a goalless draw, and none of the previous three produced more than two goals.
Malaga have been impressive both offensively and defensively in their recent home matches. Los Boquerones won each of their last three games at this ground with two clean sheets.

Burgos CF team news
Head coach Luis Miguel Ramis will need to address the discipline of his players, as Burgos finished each of their last two league games a man down.
Grego will serve the second of his two-match ban this weekend, while Álex Sancris will begin his own suspension against Málaga.
