Malaga are heading into this match in strong form, having won three of their last five games and drawing the other two without a single defeat. They look solid and hard to beat right now, especially after picking up a good win in their most recent outing. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, have been struggling to find consistency. They have only one win in their last five matches, with three draws and a loss, and they’ve been conceding goals in most of those games.

This game looks like it could be tight and possibly low-scoring. Malaga have been keeping things compact at the back, while Real Sociedad have been leaking goals but also scoring themselves in recent matches. Both sides have shown they can be hard to break down at times, so don’t expect a goal-fest. Given Malaga’s better recent run and home advantage, they look more likely to come away with the win.
