Malaga Team News

This match will come too soon for Federico Ricca and Diego Rolan while Adrián González and Recio are also doubtful. Head coach Michel will be reluctant to make any major changes after his side has shown some good form. That should see Diego Gonzalez continue at left-back and Borja Baston up-front. Miguel Torres and Juan Carlos Pérez miss out through injury.

The visitors have another option at centre-back with Jordi Amat returning from a ban, though he is unlikely to start. Andres Guardado is suspended, which paves the way for Fabian Ruiz to start in midfield. Javi García will need a late fitness test but is expected to make the lineup while Joel Campbell and Antonio Sanabria are out injured.

Malaga v Real Betis Predictions

Things are looking up for Los Boquerones, with just a single defeat from their last five outings. They’ll view this match as an opportunity to keep that momentum going and can take a step towards safety with a positive result.

Real Betis are in freefall at the moment, they come into this match without a win in their last five matches. What has been telling is the disorganisation on the pitch which has led to them giving away countless opportunities. It’s little surprise then, that they are conceding goals left, right and centre.

Real Betis have failed to score in their last three away matches in La Liga. They may be able to remedy that here but I can still see Malaga benefiting from the home advantage and coming out on top. A Correct Score tip of 2-1 to the hosts is advised.
