Real Betis vs Malaga Prediction

Real Betis Form

Real Betis have seen it all in their last three matches. Against Barcelona, they came out empty-handed in a 2-5 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 1-0 win against Feyenoord. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 0-0 draw against Celta Vigo. Real Betis have been in potent form at Estadio de La Cartuja, winning no less than five of the past six LaLiga matches here. They also hammered in 12 goals, while letting in eight as they also lost once.

They are one of only a few teams capable of taking the title in the LaLiga, and Real Betis currently remain on course.

Malaga Form

Malaga have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Espanyol, they gained a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Real Sociedad, who ran out 2-5 winners. Lately, they finished even in a 1-1 draw with Deportivo Alaves. Malaga are winless in their last six away games in the LaLiga, in which they drew two and lost four. They conceded 13 goals while scoring three themselves.

Malaga entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Real Betis are far too strong to let a home win slip against Malaga, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.

Malaga fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last three games against teams inside the top six. They were on target two times in these matches, but also let in 11 goals.
