Sevilla have been improving of late under Vincenzo Montella, with the away side picking up their form in La Liga, as well as getting to the final of the Copa del Rey. After a 0-0 draw in their first leg of a Champions League knock-out tie versus Manchester United, things have been going swimmingly.

Our Malaga vs Sevilla FC predictions back the away side to triumph once again in 2018, with how poorly Los Boquerones are doing both home and away in league action affecting our La Liga predictions as a result.

Malaga have been really struggling in front of goal of late, with goals only coming against Eibar and Valencia in 2018. The hosts are goal shy, and struggle to get their noses in front in games, with it appearing to be far too late in terms of putting together some kind of great escape from relegation.

Malaga vs Sevilla FC Prediction and Betting Advice

Malaga have scored in just one of their last six home games in La Liga, with that solitary goal coming from a close-range finish by Brown Ideye. That goal came from a corner delivery, showing just how little the hosts are actually creating and doing with the ball in open play this season. They brought in some forwards during the winter transfer window, but it has had little effect so far.

Sunbets offer the best odds on the away side winning without conceding, which is more down to the failings of the hosts than the defensive prowess of Sevilla. Montella’s men look a little weak at centre back, but the recent great performances of Sergio Rico in goal have come at a good time.

The hosts are winless in their last six league outings at La Rosaleda and currently, find themselves four points off their closest rival in the relegation zone. It would take a miracle to turn things around, especially against a Sevilla side that have improved a lot since the turn of the year.

The hosts have, however, been able to keep things relatively tight in games. Our Malaga vs Sevilla FC bets back there to be less than three goals in this contest, which looks incredibly likely given that there haven’t been more than two goals scored in Malaga’s last 11 La Liga fixtures.

Unibet offer the best value on there being less than three goals, which is mostly down to the fact that Los Boquerones have been looking woefully short in front of goal this season. They have been firing blanks with regularity, and that should help Sevilla’s cause massively. Montella’s side may well rotate, given their European commitments in recent weeks, and this disharmony may mean that they too do not fire on all cylinders.

Our Malaga vs Sevilla FC betting tips suggest that the home side are in for another tough game against a side that have been looking in very good form of late. Goals aren’t likely to be too plentiful at La Rosaleda, but Los Nervionenses should be confident of grinding out another result.
