Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but we're not predicting a high-scoring affair here. The statistics suggest Cartagena and Malaga both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.
