THE PREDICTION
Sporting Gijon come into this on the back of a 4-0 victory away to mid-table Logrones as the Asturians look to reaffirm their push for the playoffs. It was their eleventh clean sheet of the season; 17 goals conceded in just 24 games is the third best defensive record in the league. They come up against a Malaga side who have continued to be inconsistent into the new year. Seven fixtures into 2021 with two wins, two draws and three defeats would suggest the southerners are on course for their third victory. However, more interestingly, Malaga matches have finished 1-1, 0-0, 1-0 or 2-0 in 14 matches; the odd exceptions to their season’s rule being 2-1 or 3-1. Given Gijon’s defensive record and Malaga’s ability to consistently play in low-scoring matches would suggest under 2.5 is an inevitability in this one.
