Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.9520/21 in Malaga v Las Palmas

Tobias Gourlay starts the week in southern Spain, where he's not expecting goals to rain

Osasuna let themselves down yesterday, and they let Kev down too. The Reds lost 3-0 at Celta Vigo, but it's not enough to deter us from starting our own week in Spain.

Down on the south coast, Malaga have been having some troubles of their own. The Anchovies have scored just once in their last three Liga appearances at La Rosaleda ('the Rose Garden'). Home and away, it's now eight matches since they scored more than once and nine since they took all three points.

They've desperately missed top-scorer Sandro Ramirez, who's out of action again tonight, and his absence is a big reason behind our Under 2.5 Goals bet.

At the other end, Las Palmas have hardly been prolific themselves. The Canary islanders have scored just a single goal across their last five road games. Four of those games finished with Under 2.5 Goals and that's our other big reason for staying below the line this evening.
