Tshepo’s picks

Malaga have been in fine form early in the season and their clash with Almeira away from home should be an easy victory for the away side.

Almeira haven’t had a good start to the season managing to collect only one point in their last two fixtures, while the visitors have enjoyed quite a good start to the campaign with two wins and they top the standings in the Spanish Segunda Division with six points, level with RD Mallorca and separated by goal-difference.

Malaga are on a quest to return to top-flight football in Spain after being relegated last season following their poor display.

However, their start in the Segunda Division has raised eyebrows and they have certainly shown their determination to get back to La Liga.

They have managed to score three goals and kept it tight at the back, conceding only one goal. The visitors will record their third successive victory here.
