Malaga v Real Madrid Betting Preview – La Liga 14th April 3.00pm
Real Madrid failed to get the better of rivals Atletico Madrid last weekend to close the gap on their rivals who sit in second place. So Real Madrid have been left four points out of second place as they head into action this weekend. This should be an easy game for them though against bottom side Malaga who will be playing in the second tier next season.
Malaga v Real Madrid Betting Tips
Malaga are heading down to the second tier next season after having only claimed four top-flight wins this season. They are at W3 D3 L9 for the season at home, but in their last home game they did pull off a shock 1-0 success against Villarreal. All three of their home wins for the season have been by a one-goal margin only. Malaga have tallied only the eleven home goals this season while they have conceded an average of 1.4 per game. Actually, they have not done too badly at the back, and the other two currently in the bottom three have shipped way more goals than Malaga have. Malaga are the league’s lowest scorers though. Real Madrid to win to nil at bet365 is at 21/20 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 4:06 p.m. on April 10th, 2018). Malaga have failed to score in 60% of their home games this term. 71% of all of their games have ended under 2.5 goals in total.
Real Madrid were held to a home 1-1 draw by Atletico Madrid last weekend, keeping them four points out of second place in the table. They have won eight of their last ten league games now (D1 L1) and that is spite of them only earning the one clean sheet in their last fourteen La Liga fixtures. Their defence hasn’t been great. Real Madrid are W9 D4 L2 away from the Bernabeu in the league, and they are on a two-match winning streak on the road, their last one a 3-0 success at Las Palmas who are second from bottom in the table. Real Madrid have averaged over two goals per away game and in the bet365 correct score market a Real Madrid 2-0 option is at 6/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 4:06 p.m. on April 10th, 2018). Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are their joint top-scorers away from home with six each. Los Merengues have only failed to score in 20% of their league away games this season. They will probably get themselves three points from this trip.
