Málaga Real Sociedad betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most probable scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. We believe this will be an open match, with scoring chances for both teams, as they have shown offensive power in their previous match. Playing at home, Malaga has created chances with ease, and Real Sociedad has offensive quality, so it is probable they will take advantage of the spaces their opponent will leave. So a bet backing goals for both teams, has a lot of value.
