Malaga CF and SD Eibar will battle for three points in a Spanish Segunda Division matchday 13 clash on Sunday (October 30).
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Real Oviedo. Borja Baston's penalty in first-half injury time proved to be the difference between the two teams. Eibar, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 home draw against Albacete. Penalties from Maikal and Jose Serna either side of the break saw a share of the spoils.
The stalemate saw Los Armeros drop into eighth spot, having garnered 19 points from 12 games. Malaga are 21st in the standings with just nine points to show for their efforts after 12 games.

- Malaga are on a three-game unbeaten run at home, winning one and drawing two games.
- Eibar have won just one of their six away games this season.
- Five of Malaga's last six games have produced two goals or fewer.

Malaga vs Eibar Prediction
Eibar's draw last weekend saw them drop out of the playoff spots, so they will seek an immediate response to boost their promotion chances.
Meanwhile, Malaga's poor start to the season means they're in the relegation zone, and they need to start racking up points to avoid getting relegated. The Andalusians will relish a return to La Rosaleda, as they are unbeaten in their last three games in front of their fans.
Both teams have shown a high propensity for draws in recent weeks, so that trend could continue in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Malaga 1-1 Eibar
