Real M. vs Malaga Match preview

Spain - Primera Division: Real M. vs Malaga

After four successive wins, Malaga got ‘tamed’ at home by Barcelona. The four match against the strongest teams run, continues on Saturday in Madrid. The Kings were denied a victory in Almeria last week and they have no choice but to win this match if they want to stay close to the impressive Barcelona. Anyhow, this will be a very interesting match.

Malaga shouldn’t be underestimated

Real Madrid is paying well but the team have shown in some games that they are still not at Barcelona’s level. From time to time they have problems in defense, which led to them taking just one point against Espanyol in Madrid and Almeria at the Mediterranean Games stadium. The Champions League match against Juventus additionally wore the players down and they will have a difficult task against Malaga. Te Andalucians are going to Madrid with nothing to lose. They are comfortable in mid table with 13 points and they will be very motivated to play a good game in front of the Madrid fans. Coach Schuster will have almost full squad to choose from, thus Raul and Robben are expected to start in attack. After the long drought, Raul managed to score last weekend and he will be looking to continue scoring goals in a very important match against Malaga. Barcelona is two points clear at the top and they should have an easy job against Valladolid at home, thus Real needs a win to keep up with the leaders. Because all this, Real needs to take this game seriously, even though they have much better team than the opponent.

Bad beginning of the ‘hellish’ cycle

Heavy defeat from Barcelona at home served as a wake up call for Malaga players. After four straight wins, the team was trashed at home in very difficult playing conditions. Those conditions should favour the home team but Barcelona’s great players did a good job even in the muddy pitch and demolished Andalucians. Malaga continues the cycle in Madrid with slim chances of avoiding defeat. The players are full of confidence, and they have nothing to lose in Madrid, thus they will be very motivated to play a good game against Real. Their only chance could be the fact that Real players will be tired after the difficult match with Juventus in midweek. Antonio Tapia will be sweating over the fitness of Baha and considering that he is one of the best players in the team, the possible absence would be a big blow. However, Malaga have enough points, thus they will not be under pressure in Madrid.

Betting verdict

Real is a big favourite here and they will try everything in order to win the match. Malaga continues the series but considering they managed to beat one of the four difficult opponents, they will not be under pressure to pick up any points from Madrid. Bet on home win.
