On the upcoming Monday Malaga will host Real Sociedad at their home ground within another round of Spanish Primera. The Anchovies currently occupy a spot in the lower part of the tournament table, and will unlikely fight for the Eurocups, but on the other hand, the future guests play great at their home ground, loose extremely rarely, and concede few goals. Real Sociedad, in its turn, are very motivated, as the Basques are on the distance of two points from the Champions League zone.
Malaga are in a bad shape right now and in the last five matches the Anchovies had no victories, with two draws against Valencia and Granada, and three losses to Sevilla, Cordoba and Celta. In the light of these results, the 13th place for Malaga in Primera comes as no surprise. Malaga have 21 points in the asset and eight-point handicap to the Europa League zone.
Real Sociedad are having a decent season, the team from Basque country is fighting for a spot in top four strongest in Spain and Real Sociedad’s current gap from the fourth place, on which Atletico are located, is only two points. Real Sociedad have had eight away matches in the Spanish Primera in which they won four times as well as losing four. In the last five matches Real Sociedad have the stats of two wins, two draws and one loss. The only defeat happened on 7th of January against Sevilla, and the loss was at home.
Real Sociedad have learned to perform away, and Malaga are currently in a bad sporting shape, so it is risky to bet on the hosts in this situation.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad not to lose.
