Real Madrid v Malaga Betting Preview – La Liga 25th November 3.15pm

Real Madrid’s frustrating league campaign continued last weekend as they were held to a 0-0 draw by rivals Atletico Madrid. Overall they have dropped five more points in their last three league games now and that has left Real Madrid trailing the leaders Barcelona by a massive ten points. But there should be a good three points on offer for them here as they face a Malaga side who are floundering in the regulation zone. However, they have shown a bit more promise recently with winning two of their last three.

Real Madrid v Malaga Betting Tips

Real Madrid already looking at a ten point deficit to league leaders Barcelona in the Spanish top flight. That is because they have just been patchy lately, dropping more points in aW1 D1 L1 record, the only win in that sequence coming on home soil against Las Palmas. Looking solely at their home form they are doing alright with a three match winning streak on the board at the Bernabeu and each of those were with a clean sheet as well. Real Madrid to win to nil at bet365 should be a good place to start at a price of 5/6. Those home wins were needed too because they only collected two points from their opening three home fixtures this season. Real Madrid played out a 0-0 at the Metropolitano against rivals Atletico Madrid in their big derby match last weekend. Real Madrid are six points worse off than they were at this stage last season.

They have been winning a half time in three of their six home fixutres this term (D1) though and so a Real Madrid/Real Madrid half time/full time wager returns a price of 1/3. Up as favourite in the First Goalscorer market is Cristiano Ronaldo at 15/8. Malaga have been in all sorts of trouble this season and are barely out of the relegation zone in La Liga. They have a W2 D1 L9 record this season and they have lost each of their six road games this season in the Spanish top flight. Even more problematically for them is that they have not scored a single away goal this season and so a Real Madrid 2-0 correct score at bet365 has appeal at 17/2 and each of Malaga’s last four losses have been by that scoreline, including away games at Sevilla and Barcelona which should be good indicators for this one. They also lost this corresponding fixture 2-0 last season. They have conceded an average of two goals per game on the road this season too.

Real Madrid v Malaga Predictions

There should be an easy three points on offer for Real Madrid here as they face a Malaga side who have had a miserable time of things out on the road this season. They aren’t likely going to get close to being a force in this one and will come away empty handed in a loss without scoring.
