Malaga vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

We have plenty of reason to believe that to be the case too. It may be the first week of October and the 2nd international break of the season follows these games but incredibly Malaga are yet to score a goal in 540 minutes of football this season. They’ll be desperate to get that particular and extremely embarrassing monkey off their back prior to the fortnight break but it won’t be easy against a Real Sociedad side who don’t concede many.

The Basques have kept clean sheets in 4 of their 6 matches so far this season and have only conceded 1 goal on the road. However goalscoring has also been a problem for them with the exception of a 3-0 win in Granada courtesy of an Imanol Agirretxe hat-trick.

Therefore backing at least one of these teams to fail to find the back of the net in this match at 8/11 is surely the smart move here. This game could resemble something of a chess match given both managers will know it might only take one error or perhaps less likely one moment of brilliance to settle it.

There were only 3 goals in the 2 matches between the sides last season with Malaga getting the better of the head-to-head courtesy of a 1-0 win in San Sebastian early on. They have looked a shadow of their former selves of late though and it is just hard to think that they are going to create enough to really cause Sociedad much bother here.

Their defence has been reliable though and only Real Madrid and Valenica have conceded fewer goals than them so they’ll be confident of keeping things tight again here.

Given Malaga and Real Sociedad have already been involved in an incredible 6 goalless draws between them this season, there has to be real value in backing this game to finish 0-0 also at 6/1.
