Malaga vs Levante Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds for Sunday, September 6th

Malaga vs Levante Game Preview

The Malaga vs Levante prediction centers on a struggling home side chasing a first win of the season against a Levante team that arrives at La Rosaleda in far better shape.

Malaga sit bottom of the standings with just one point from three games, a draw against Deportivo La Coruna sandwiched between defeats to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid on their return to LaLiga.

Levante have climbed the standings, earning four points from three games. They lost their opener, drew the next, then hammered Real Betis 5-2 before the September international break.

History leans Malaga's way at home, though. They are unbeaten in the last 10 meetings with Levante at La Rosaleda, and the sides drew 1-1 the last time they met.

Malaga vs Levante Recent Results

It has been a brutal restart in the top flight for Malaga, who have lost six of their last seven games in LaLiga and sit dead last in the standings. Finishing has been the issue, and the offense has yet to click. Chupe leads the line, but the home side badly needs support around him to spark a first win.

Levante have found their footing, ranking 10th for form after a stretch that peaked with a 5-2 rout of Real Betis. Roger Brugue was the star man in that win, and the away side's threat down the wings and from set pieces gives them a real edge. Their attack looks the more reliable of the two heading into this matchup.

Malaga vs Levante Talking Points

The story here is momentum versus history. Levante enter 10th in the standings and riding the wave of that 5-2 win over Real Betis, where Roger Brugue starred, and their finishing and set-piece threat give them a genuine edge in this game.
