Goals could be at a premium

Malaga have struggled to make an impact in the final third this season, scoring just twice across their opening five league matches. Their lack of attacking threat makes it difficult to see them playing their part in a high-scoring encounter against Villarreal.

The visitors have their own concerns, particularly on the road. Villarreal have lost each of their last four away matches, so they may struggle to take complete control of this contest despite looking the stronger of the two sides.

Malaga’s lack of goals points towards a cagey game, while Villarreal’s poor away run makes it difficult to have complete faith in the visitors. That combination makes under 2.5 goals the standout selection.

Villarreal should still possess enough quality to come out on top, but this could be settled by a single goal. Back under 2.5 goals, with a 1-0 Villarreal victory the correct-score prediction.
