Gamingtips Prediction – Real Madrid 2:1 Malaga
Both sides have very good defensive records – Real Madrid have conceded 34 goals in 34 games while Malaga have conceded 39 goals in 34 games (second vs fourth best defensive records). The main difference is in the number of goals both sides score – Real Madrid have scored 89 goals in 34 matches vs Malaga who have scored 47 in 34 matches. Malaga do have more to play for than Real Madrid but it will be a very difficult task given their current form, their history of one win in just 25 meetings and the fact that Real Madrid have scored almost twice as many goals this season. The best betting opportunity could be under 3.5 goals at odds of 10/11.
