Malaga vs Granada: Match Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 7, 2025

On September 6, 2025, La Rosaleda Stadium in Malaga will host the Matchday 4 match of La Liga 2, featuring local team Malaga against Granada. The match is set to kick off at 21:00 Central European Time. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect from both teams.

Malaga

Malaga has started the La Liga 2 season well, remaining unbeaten with two narrow 1-0 wins over Real Sociedad B and Las Palmas, along with a 1-1 draw against Eibar. The team is currently playing with a steady pace and has scored few goals, ranking seventh in the table. Last season was less successful for Malaga as they finished sixteenth overall and were eleventh at home. However, they have been strong at home lately, going unbeaten in their last six matches, with four victories and two draws.

In recent years, matches between Malaga and Granada at home have been closely contested: in their last five meetings, Malaga won once, Granada once, and three ended in draws. Most of these encounters have seen few goals, as four out of five had under 2.5 total goals, and in three matches, both teams managed to score.

Granada

Granada has had a tough start to the season, losing all three of their opening matches. They suffered a 1-3 defeat at home to Deportivo, a 0-3 loss away at Eibar, and a 1-2 defeat at home against Mirandes. In each of these games, they had a player sent off in the second half, complicating their chances for a better result. Last season, Granada finished seventh and narrowly missed the playoff zone, but this new season has not begun well for them.

Since the end of last season, Granada has struggled, failing to win in their last eight matches, with six losses and two draws in that span.

Encounters with Malaga are typically hard-fought. In five of the last seven matches, both teams scored. Overall, Granada has an advantage in their recent meetings with five wins to Malaga’s one, along with four draws. However, Malaga did win the last matchup, ending Granada’s nine-match unbeaten streak against them.

Malaga vs Granada match prediction

Malaga has shown solid form at the start of the season and plays well at home. Granada is struggling to find their footing but often performs well in matches against Malaga. The history suggests these games are evenly matched, with both teams usually scoring. Granada will be looking to bounce back after their rough start, so expect a determined effort from them. This should lead to an engaging match, likely with goals from both sides. My prediction for this match is both teams to score at odds of 2.09.
