The hosts stand out with a higher shot conversion rate (10% vs 8%) and superior average xG in home games (1.58 vs 1.18 xG for the visitors on the road). Málaga CF faces serious issues away, losing 67% of matches and failing to score in 44% of games, confirmed by weak offensive stats (0.78 goals on average per away match).
