In a match of the Spanish LALIGA 2, Elche triumphed over Málaga with a 2-0 victory at the Martínez Valero. Elche dominated possession with 56.8% and registered 17 total shots, converting two of their five shots on target. Sory Kaba broke the deadlock in the 76th minute, and Mourad El Ghezouani sealed the win in added time. Málaga, playing a 4-4-2 formation, struggled to create clear-cut chances, managing only two shots on target out of seven attempts. The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored an Elche win, which proved accurate, although the model didn't anticipate a particularly balanced game, as Elche was predicted to have a 51.9% win probability.
Elche's recent form has been inconsistent, with losses against Huesca and Levante sandwiching this victory, alongside a win over Burgos and draws against Granada and Albacete. Their next match is away against Deportivo La Coruña. Deportivo La Coruña has also been struggling, with three losses in their last five games. Considering the last head-to-head game between Elche and Deportivo ended in a draw, and Elche's inconsistent form, a tough game is expected.
Málaga's recent form shows some signs of improvement with three wins in their last five matches, including victories over Sporting Gijón, Granada and Castellón, but prior to those, they also lost to Eldense and drew against Eibar. Their upcoming match is at home against Burgos. Burgos's form has been similarly mixed, with recent losses to Eibar and Mirandés offsetting a win against Córdoba, as well as a recent defeat to Elche, pointing towards a potentially tight contest. Elche has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head games against Málaga, and their dominating performance in this match demonstrates the team is capable of getting results in important games.
