Two camps who will sign off the 2024/25 Segunda campaign this weekend, Burgos will travel to La Rosaleda when they meet Malaga on Saturday evening.
Malaga
Starting with the hosts, while Malaga might have managed to keep hold of their Segunda status with plenty of time to spare, Sergio Pellicer’s men have failed to find any real stability. Making an immediate return to losing ways last week as they slumped to a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Elche, Los Albicelestes have found themselves sat in second-tier limbo for long spells of this season. However, despite gaining an unwanted reputation for their glaring issues outside of Andalusia, Malaga will certainly be excited to make a return to La Rosaleda on Saturday evening. Last seen in front of their own ers clinched a 2-1 victory against Sporting Gijon, Pellicer’s side have won their previous three Segunda showdowns on home soil by an aggregate score of 4-1. Likewise, Saturday’s hosts have mustered 12 points from their last five matchups in Andalusia.
Malaga Team News
Both still dealing with respective long-term knee injuries, Malaga will once again be without the duo of Haitam Abaida and academy graduate Ramon Enriquez. However, after serving a one-match suspension against Elche last week, former Castellon striker Victor Garcia will return to Pellicer’s squad.
Notching three goals in his previous five Segunda appearances, 20-year-old Chupe will lead the line in Andalusia. Former Sampdoria youngster Alex Pastor will partner Nelson Monte at the heart of Malaga’s defence on Saturday evening.
Burgos CF
As for the visitors, while Burgos might open their season finale sat just a single points adrift of clinching a top-half finish, Luis Miguel Ramis has seen his downbeat squad endure a public struggle over the past month. Last seen suffering a remarkable last collapse as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat at home against Levante, the Whites have lost four of their previous five Segunda appearances and are limping their way over the finishing line. In fact, despite landing a 3-2 victory against Cordoba on May 10th, that is the only win that Burgos have collected from their last seven consecutive matchups away from the Estadio Municipal El Plantio. It should also be highlighted, Ramis’ men have suffered consecutive Segunda defeats outside of Castile and Leon for the first time since the middle of December.
Burgos CF Team News
Not making a single appearance since the start of October and still sidelined with a long-term knee injury, former Club Brugge youngster Kevin Appin will not feature here. Likewise, shown a straight red card against Eibar on May 17th, veteran defender Gregorio Sierra Perez will once again miss out through suspension.
Bagging what turned out to be a consolation brace against Levante last week and now notching three gaols in as many Segunda appearances, ex-Villarreal marksman will lead the line. Former Real Madrid starlet Ivan Morante will start in the middle of the park alongside Miguel Atienza.

Winning their previous three Segunda appearances in front of their own ers, Pellicer’s camp will be looking to sign off the 2024/25 campaign with a final weekend flurry. Likewise, with Malaga mustering 12 points from their last five showdowns at La Rosaleda, we are backing a home draw no bet.
