Odds: Malaga (1/1) Draw (12/5) Betis (11/4)Gamingtips Prediction – Malaga 2:1 Betis

Malaga finished 6th in the Spanish Primera last season.

They scored 53 goals in 38 games and conceded 50.

Real Betis 1 point behind in 7th position.

They scored 57 goals in 38 games and conceded 56.

Nothing separates these two sides statistically – Malaga did possess the best defensive record in the Spanish Primera for much of last season before conceding far too many goals in the second half of the season and this may be the only slightly deceptive statistic although they did inevitably concede 50 goals in total.

What do you think will happen?
