Our top betting predictions for Malaga vs Alaves

If you aren’t sure what is the right bet for Malaga vs Alaves, take a look at our latest betting picks for this game:

Alaves to Win

While Alaves enters this game after suffering three losses in a row, Malaga has lost just one of their last six games, although they also have just one win in that period, along with four draws.

So, Malaga can certainly make things interesting here. That being said, Alaves is still fifth in the standings and just two points behind the very top, while Malaga is in the relegation zone. With that in mind, this seems like a great opportunity for Alaves to end their poor run and get three points.

Malaga and Alaves to Draw at Half Time

Although we can see Alaves winning this match, given the forms of both teams we don’t expect them to have an easy job. So, we can see Malaga and Alaves being tied at half time of this game.

After all, Malaga did draw at half time in eleven of their twenty matches in Segunda so far, although the same is true for just seven of twenty Alaves games in the league this season.

Over 2.5 Total Goals

Two of the last four head-to-head duels between Malaga and Alaves have gone over 2.5 total goals, which isn’t saying much, especially since their last game was four years ago.

Still, we can see this being a high scoring affair. Given their current situation and form, both teams will be gunning for the win, which could lead to three or more goals being scored.

Malaga vs Alaves preview: Can Malaga do well again?

Malaga

In the last six games in the league, Malaga has just one loss. And while they only won once in those six games and they remain in relegation zone, it is still a cause for optimism ahead of the second half of the season in Segunda. Meanwhile, the team is still struggling with injuries, with eight players on Malaga’s injury list right now.

Alaves

Three losses in a row have caused Alaves a lot since the team fell down from the top spot in the league. Alaves still remains in the playoff zone and within a striking distance of the league leaders, but they desperately need to end this losing streak soon or they risk falling behind too much. The team is without injuries right now, but Mamadou Sylla is suspended ahead of the next game.
