Match Preview

Goals should be forecast ahead of our Real Sociedad vs Malaga preview and football odds, with both of these teams having plenty of defensive problems heading into this game that have plagued them since the start of the season.

Real Sociedad have conceded in all but one of their home league games this season, with only Villarreal failing to hit the back of the net at Anoeta. Their style of play is all about getting the ball forward quickly and causing the opposition problems, but it leaves them open on the break.

Our Real Sociedad vs Malaga predictions are based on the hosts’ defensive woes and Malaga’s ability on the counter, which makes backing an entertaining contest full of goals very tempting indeed in terms of our weekend La Liga predictions.

Malaga have been dreadful on the road this season in the Spanish top flight, but they did make a contest of their last trip away to Andalucia. A 3-2 defeat against Real Madrid shows that they are up for the relegation battle.

Real Sociedad vs Malaga Prediction and Betting Advice

La Real have been leaking goals at Anoeta this season, with lowly Lleida even managing to score there in the Copa del Rey. Eusebio’s style is not to plug gaps at the back and sit back but rather get forward and try and score plenty of goals while entertaining the crowd.

Unibet have some very good value on there being three or more goals on Sunday, which looks incredibly likely. Across the hosts’ last five home matches in La Liga, there have been 23 goals. They can’t keep opponents out, but they can certainly score plenty themselves too.

Malaga hadn’t hit the back of the net in the league until their last away jaunt, with two goals at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu carrying them to the cusp of a famous result against Real Madrid. Had it not been for a poor refereeing decision, Paul Baysse would have had a goal to his name too.

Neither team looks capable of keeping a clean sheet whatsoever, so backing a home win with both teams hitting the back of the net in San Sebastian seems like the best way to go in our Real Sociedad vs Malaga bets.

Coral offer some excellent value on La Real taking the three points but both teams getting on the scoresheet, which, given Malaga’s dreadful record this campaign, looks to be a very intelligent way to place your stake. One home clean sheet in La Liga suggests that Eusebio’s men won’t be able to keep Los Boquerones at bay either, true to our predictions.

Our Real Sociedad vs Malaga betting tips suggest that this should be an entertaining game for both sets of supporters to watch, but anything other than a home victory appears to be very unlikely. Malaga’s away support will have to wait another week to see a winning performance.
