Talavera Málaga betting prediction

The away team comes to this 2^nd round after a win in their debut in this group stage, against Union Estepona, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Segunda División, they got an away tie against Real Valladolid by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Málaga has won 2, tied 1 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 13 of their 32 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Málaga comes into this match on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Real Valladolid in La Liga 2. It should be noted that the visitors reach this stage of the Copa del Rey after eliminating Estepona in the previous round. The away side usually plays in a 4-3-3 formation, favouring quick transitions, mainly through the wings. In this formation, the three men responsible for causing panic in the opposition's defence are Joaquín Muñoz, David Larrubia and Adrián Niño. In midfield, midfielder Izan Merino takes responsibility for controlling the game, ensuring that the team maintains the desired pace. All players are available for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Carlos López, Jokin Gabilondo, Pablo Arriaza, Diego Murillo, Dani Sánchez, Javi Montero, Aarón Ochoa, Rafa Rodríguez, Haitam Abaida, Chupe, Julen Lobete.
