Betting tip

Málaga have made a difficult start to the league campaign: the Andalusians sit bottom of the table without a win in eight matches. The hosts' main problem lies in attack, where even the occasional goal takes considerable effort. The thinking behind this bet centres on the hosts' low scoring rate, as their current form offers little prospect of a goal spree.

The hosts' attacking figures at the start of the season speak for themselves: across eight matches, Málaga have averaged just 0.5 goals per game, sharing the lowest tally in La Liga with Getafe (four goals). They have not scored more than once in any of their last ten league matches, while their games have produced a modest average of 2.12 goals. Home advantage has not helped: the Andalusians have scored no more than once in nine of their previous ten home league matches.

Real Sociedad were sixth heading into the ninth round of fixtures and held a clear edge in quality over their opponents. The Basque side tend to play open football, which has brought an average of 3.38 goals in their matches. However, they played away to Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Europa League just three days before their trip to La Rosaleda Stadium, so the San Sebastián side will manage their energy and avoid recklessly pushing the tempo.

The main risk lies in the vulnerability of the Basque side's defence: Real Sociedad concede an average of 1.88 goals per league match, and six of their eight games have produced over 2.5 goals. They regularly hand their opponents gifts. However, this Málaga side are too limited creatively to turn occasional defensive lapses into a couple of goals.

The hosts are joint-lowest scorers in the league and desperately short of attacking threat, while the visitors are unlikely to set a frantic pace after their European outing.

Prediction: Málaga under 1.5 goals — 1.48
