Cultural Leonesa vs Malaga Prediction and Betting Tips | November 17th 2025

Cultural Leonesa will host Malaga at the Estádio Reino de Leon on Monday in another round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The hosts will be optimistic of returning to winning ways and climbing out of the drop zone after a humbling result last time out.

Cultural Leonesa put in a flat performance last weekend as they suffered a 3-0 defeat away to third-placed Deportivo La Coruna, extending their inconsistent form to two wins, one draw, and three losses from their last six league games.

La Cultu are now sat in 20th place in the Segunda Division but could finish the matchday closer to mid-table should they get maximum points on Monday.

Malaga started the season in fine form with two wins and two draws from their opening four games, but have since struggled to get results as they now sit in 17th place with just one point more than their midweek opponents, following an abysmal run of form, with six losses from their last nine games.

The visitors’ striker Rafa Rodriguez came off the bench to score two goals, but still saw his side end up dropping points as they conceded in the 11th minute of extra time of their 2-2 draw with 10-man Cordoba last time out.

Cultural Leonesa vs Malaga Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Monday's game will mark the first-ever meeting between the two sides.
• Cultural Leonesa have scored 15 goals and conceded 19 in 13 league games so far, while Malaga have scored 16 and conceded 17 across the same number of league games.
• Only bottom-placed Real Zaragoza have lost more games (9) in the Spanish second tier this season than the hosts (7).
• The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions.

Cultural Leonesa vs Malaga Prediction

The teams are closely matched going into Monday's league clash, but La Leonesa will hope to get a slight boost from their home advantage despite having managed just one home league win all season.

Los Albicelestes will fancy their chances of getting at least a point on the road, but will need to be at their rarely seen best to manage that.
