On Monday evening, Mirandes will host Malaga in the final match of the 24th round of La Liga 2. The home side comes into this game stuck at the bottom of the table and is desperately in need of a victory to end an eight-match winless run.

In the first h2h game, Malaga won 3:2 in a super exciting match, securing the win in the last moments. Looking further back, in the past five games, Malaga were much better, winning three times, while Mirandes secured just one victory.
When it comes to the number of goals, three of the last five h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in four of the past five.
Mirandes team overview
Mirandes had a magnificent last season, almost securing promotion, losing in the Playoff Finals. However, due to financial problems, the Reds failed to maintain such performances and were forced to make the squad mostly of loaned players. At the moment, they are in 22nd with 17 points from 23 matches - eight points away from the safe zone. Even though eight points is not that far, they are playing terrible football, and relegation seems imminent if they do not make drastic changes.
Following a poor performance, the club decided to sack coach Jesús Galván and appointed Antxon Muneta on 13th January. That is already the third coach for Mirandes this season. Under coach Muneta, Mirandes lost back-to-back games by a combined score of 1:5.

Malaga team overview
Malaga, once a stable La Liga team, dropped to the third tier in the 2023/24 season but are slowly recovering. This season, the Andalusian team has had its ups and downs, but is on a magnificent streak at the moment. They are currently in 3rd place with 38 points from 23 matches - just 1 point behind 2nd place and direct promotion.
This six-game winning streak is even more impressive given that they have eight injured players on the roster and that they played mostly good teams. For the upcoming tie, the team will also be without Carlos Dotor and Diego Murillo due to a one-game suspension.

Prediction
Mirandes have been atrocious this season and are only looking worse and worse. In the past eight games, they have won only two points, and expecting a good performance against the league's hottest team seems unrealistic.
Malaga are currently on a six-game winning streak, having beaten some really good teams. Five of those six teams are currently in the upper half of the league's table. They were impressive offensively during that stretch, scoring a total of 14 goals - 2.33 per game.
Moreover, Malaga were much better in recent h2h games, winning three of the past five meetings (60%). Considering the trend in the previous h2h games, Mirandes' atrocious and Malaga's amazing form, we believe Malaga should secure a comfortable road win.
3 Reasons why Malaga should win
- Mirandes won two points in the past eight games
- Malaga won six in a row
- Malaga won the first h2h game this season (3:2)
