"Malaga are W5-D1-L1 hosting teams outside the current top eight"

Back Malaga @ 1.84/5 to beat Getafe

Tobias Gourlay expects Malaga to rub salt into Getafe's wounds this evening

Malaga v Getafe
Saturday 21:00

Marseille 2 Caen 3 in France's Ligue 1 last night. A jolt for OM, who were 2-0 up early in the second half, but not for us.

On Thursday Getafe lost their coach, Quique Sanchez Flores, after just two months in the job. 'Personal reasons' he said, but we're not so sure it wasn't the prospect of a trip to La Rosaleda.

Last seen rocking the world with a 1-0 win at the Camp Nou a week ago, Malaga have exceeded expectations this season and are running seventh in La Liga.

The Anchovies have won this fixture in four of the last five seasons and this term Javi Gracia's men are W5-D1-L1 hosting teams outside the current top eight.

Thirteenth-placed Getafe have lost 7/11 on the road. The four games in which they avoided defeat were all against teams that were 16th or below at the time.
